"Life does not happen to us, it happens from us." -- Mike Wickett
"When we know that the cause of something is in ourselves, and that we (ourselves) are one of the few things in the universe that we have the right and ability to change, we begin to get a sense of the choices we really do have, an inkling of the power we have, a feeling of being in charge... of our lives, of our future, of our dreams." -- John-Roger and Peter McWilliams
"Be thine own palace, or the world’s thy jail." -- John Donne
