Friday Filosophy #2016-25

/in /by

What a week! Starting last Sunday with Father’s Day. That followed our comments on the status quo and disruption. And we were given a gift on Thursday with Brexit. Not a gift in the manner in which you are thinking, but in the manner of following the thoughts on status quo and disruption. I believe that we constantly need to be challenging the status quo which brings me to the topic of Friday Filosophy #2016-25: dreams.

 Some quotes on dreams.

 

Reality is wrong. Dreams are real.

Tupac Shakur

 

Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?

Leonardo Da Vinci

 

You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.

Billy Wilder

 

Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.

Jean-Paul Sartre

 

A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Colin Powell

 

Every dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Walt Disney

 

My thoughts go out to the citizens of the United Kingdom who have retaken control of their own destiny. Best wishes and lots of luck.

 

The time is now.

This weekend is a special one: Memorial Day. This is the day to remember all of the men and women who have died in the service of our country. They gave everything to allow us to enjoy our freedom. I am an immigrant to this country. I am thankful to be a citizen of this country.  For this Friday Filosophy #2016-21, I want to focus on this idea of country.

 

May Heaven be propitious, and smile on the cause of my country.

Zebulon Pike

 

Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.

George Washington

 

On what rests the hope of the republic? One country, one language, one flag.

Alexander Henry

 

Who sows virtue reaps honor.

Leonardo da Vinci

 

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.

Nathan Hale

 

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.

Mark Twain

 

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King Jr.

 

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.

Clint Eastwood

 

I am not concerned with your liking or disliking me…all I ask is that you respect me as a human being.

Jackie Robinson

 

The time is now.
