“The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.”
- Theodore Roosevelt

Wallowing in the past may be good literature. As wisdom, it’s hopeless.
–Aldous Huxley

Simplify your life.  True wealth is found in the head.
–Rolfe Neill

What a confused society that buys war toys for its children but denies
them knowledge about the exciting process through which
they came into this world.
–Rolfe Neill

Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can’t prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you’re presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.
–Blaine Lee, The Power Principal

“Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.”
— Ray Stannard Baker

“God’s Christmas gift to you is the most expensive gift you’ll ever receive. It’s priceless. Jesus paid for it with his life. It’s also the only gift you’ll ever receive that will last forever. And, it’s an extremely practical gift – one you’ll use every day for the rest of your life.”
– Rick Warren

“The prospect of sharing our home with another person who knows us down to the most intimate detail is part of the deep pleasure of marriage. Yet this site of its greatest blessing is also the site of its greatest danger. Someone who knows us this intimately can either love us at depths we never imagined, or can wound us from ways we may never fully recover from.”
- Stephen Kendrick and Alex Kendrick, The Love Dare (Broadman & Holman, 2008)

Rolfe Neill writes in tribute to his mother . . .

You taught me independence, to value truth above all,
to be responsible for my own life, to keep my word,
pay my debts, to esteem knowledge,
the dignity of all people and all occupations,
the nurturing of beauty and the balm of humor.

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
–Bill Gates
