success is the payback...
People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Recognizing that you are not where you want to be is a starting point to begin changing your life.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

Permit yourself to change your mind when something is no longer working for you

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

When we’re growing up, there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be

We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.

The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful..

I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can...

It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid instead of trying to be very intelligent..

A small watercolour drawing of the entrance to HA!HA! on Trinity St, Cambridge (now Strada) with passing figures. This sold at an exhibition I had in King Street in 2000. Doesn't seem long ago to me. See alt text

The interior of the peridioles of Nidula niveotomentosa (a birds nest fungus) have surprising green fluorescence in 365 nanometer UV light. Photographed yesterday in Mendocino County, California.

Sliced in half with a sharp razor blade.

Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.

A strong relationship is an honest relationship, and no honest relationship is all peaches and cream. Love is the key. Where love abides, anger is but a passing visitor.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.
