COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Dan Rather
American journalist 


The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'.
 
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
 
Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic.

A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well.
 
If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.
 
An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger.
 
Don't taunt the alligator until after you've crossed the creek.
 
And now the sequence of events in no particular order.
 
To err is human but to really foul up requires a computer.
 
Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.
