You Need Singleness of Purpose

""But in searching for the essence of anything, you also strive for specific major objectives, with singleness of purpose. And thus with each successful step forward you get closer and closer to the essence of that which you seek.  The essence of success in any man's life depends on his living philosophy."

-- W. Clement Stone


"This business of hozho. The way I understand it ... I'll use an example. Terrible drought, crops dead, sheep dying. Spring dried out. No water. The Hopi, or the Christian, maybe the Moslem, they pray for rain. The Navajo has the proper ceremony done to restore himself to harmony with the drought. You see what I mean. The system is designed to recognize what's beyond human power to change, and then to change the human's attitude to be content with the inevitable."

-- in a Sacred Clowns, by Tony Hillerman


"It doesn't much signify whom one marries, for one is sure to find out the next morning that it was someone else."

-- Samuel Rogers
