"Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward."Napolean Hill "When any fit of anxiety or gloominess or perversion of the mind lays hold upon you, make it a rule not to publish it by complaints but exert your whole care to hide it. By endeavoring to hide it, you will drive it away."Dr. Samuel Johnson "When once a man has made celebrity necessary to his happiness, he has put it in the power of the weakest and most timorous malignity, if not to take away his s atisfaction, at least to withhold it. His enemies may indulge their pride by air y negligence and gratify their malice by quiet neutrality." Dr. Samuel Johnson "Such power there is in clear-eyed self-restraint."James Russell Lowell "He that would govern others, first should be The Master of himself." Philip Mas singer "It is so easy to be confrontive without being informative; indignant without be ing intelligent; impulsive without being insightful."Neal A. Maxwell "The Savior's constant desire and effort were to implant in the mind right thoug hts, pure motives, noble ideals, knowing full well that right words and actions would inevitably follow. He taught, and modern physiology and psychology confirm, that hate and jealousy and other evil passions destroy a man's physical vigor and efficiency. What a ma n continually thinks about determines his actions in times of opportunity and st ress. A man's reaction to his appetites and impulses when they are roused gives the measure of that man's character. In these reactions are revealed the man's p ower to govern or his forced servility to yield." David Oman McKay "He who reigns within himself, and rules passions, desires, and fears, is more t han a king."

John Milton "The last and favorite resort of the clergy when they are questioned too closely is: their questioners simply don't understand; they are "uninstructed and amate urish." "Unless you accept our interpretation of the texts," the layman is told, "you obviously do not understand them. And if you don't understand them, you ha ve no right to question our interpretation of them!" And so the layman is put in his place. The guarded degree, the closed corporatio n, the technical vocabulary, these are the inner redoubt, the inviolable strongh old of usurped authority. Locked safe within the massive and forbidding walls of institution and formality lies what the Egyptians called "the king's secret," t he secret of controlling the past." Hugh Nibley "Wherever we look in the ancient world the past has been controlled, but nowhere more rigorously than in the history of the Christian church. The methods of con trol, wherever we find them, fall under three general heads which might be descr ibed as (a) the invention, (b) the destruction, and (c) the alteration of docume nts." Hugh Nibley "He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living crea tures." Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzche "The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of havin g pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you." Anthony (Tony) Robbins "O, it is excellent to have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous to use it li ke a giant." William Shakespeare "They that have power to hurt and will do none, That do not do the thing they most do show, Who, moving others, are themselves as stone, Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow; They rightly do inherit Heaven s graces, And husband nature s riches from expense; They are the lords and owners of their faces, Others but stewards of their excellence. The summer s flower is to the summer sweet, Though to itself it only live and die; But if that flower with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity: For Sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds: Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds. William Shakespeare "When we direct our thoughts properly, we can control our emotions..." W. Clement Stone "When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven't developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urg es that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habits and don't kn ow how to eliminate them effectively." William Clement Stone "He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is migh

tier still." Tao Te Ching "Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power." Alfred Lord Tennyson "When angry, count four; when very angry, swear." Mark Twain "Four innate sentiments dispose people to a universal moral sense. These are sym pathy, fairness, self-control and duty." James Q. Wilson "If you can control a man's thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions . When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not ha ve to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself . If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, h is very nature will demand one."

================================= Quotes for Survival A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with he makes himself." Alexander Graham Bell "Double no, triple on earth." Ronald Reagan

a man is what

our troubles and we d still be better off than any other people

"Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an app alling waste of energy; you can t build on it; it s only for wallowing in." -Katherine Mansfield "Survival, with honor, that outmoded and all-important word, is as difficult as ever and as all-important to a writer. Those who do not last are always more bel oved since no one has to see them in their long, dull, unrelenting, no-quarter-g iven-and-no-quarter-received, fights that they make to do something as they beli eve it should be done before they die. Those who die or quit early and easy and with every good reason are preferred because they are understandable and human. Failure and well-disguised cowardice are more human and more beloved." Ernest He mingway "The more we exploit nature, The more our options are reduced, until we have onl y one: to fight for survival." Morris K. Udall "Nobody is stronger, nobody is weaker than someone who came back. There is nothi ng you can do to such a person because whatever you could do is less than what h as already been done to him. We have already paid the price." Elie Wiesel "Once one determines that he or she has a mission in life, that is not going to be accomplished without a great deal of pain, and that the rewards in the end ma y not outweigh the pain - if you recognize historically that always happens, the n when it comes, you survive it." Richard M. Nixon "The consciousness of being deemed dead, is next to the presumable unpleasantnes s of being so in reality. One feels like his own ghost unlawfully tenanting a de funct carcass."

Survival is not mandatory."Dr.W.Edwards Deming

"The things we accept as normal and enjoy today were considered impossible twent y-five years ago and beyond the power of man to achieve. The early "Buck Rogers" and "Flash Gordon" comic strips were fantastic and considered outside the realm of man's attainment. They were considered figments of man's imagination, but no w many of these miraculous, imaginative things have become realities and man is pushing onward toward new and higher goals of achievement. We are now mentally p repared for every new invention and advancement in technology and the sciences ,

but, nevertheless, stand amazed at man's powers to create and achieve. These ou tstanding accomplishments, which approach the miraculous, to me are unquestioned evidence of man's divine nature. Man has sent up satellites which circle the gl obe. He has taken the breathtaking, miraculous ride about the earth.
