I wanted a heaven. And I grew up striving for that world-- an eternal world- that would wash away my temporary misery.

It goes without saying that even those of us who are going to hell will get eternal life__f that territory really exists outside religious books and the minds of believers, that is. Having said that, given the choice, instead of being grilled until hell freezes over, the average sane human being would, needless to say, rather spend forever idling in an extremely fertile garden, next to a lamb or a chicken or a parrot, which they do not secretly want to eat, and a lion or a tiger or a crocodile, which does not secretly want to eat them.

To some believers, being on the pill or using a condom is a nonverbal way of telling God to go to hell.

Love is the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... Love is as love does. Love is an act of will -- namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.

Insight and drive are all the skills you need. Everything else can be hired.

Those that recognize the inevitability of change stand to benefit the most from it.

A negative mind will never find success. I have never heard a positive idea come from a person in a negative state.

The customer is always right...even when they're wrong.

Speed to fail should be every entrepreneur's motto. When you finally find the one idea that can't be killed, go with it.

The best big idea is only going to be as good as its implementation.

The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that successful ones know that the most unprofitable thing ever manufactured is an excuse.

There is a difference between failing and failure. Failing is trying something that you learn doesn't work. Failure is throwing in the towel and giving up.
