Back in June I posted a set of five quotations I saved from blogs & e-newsletters I subscribe to that feature quotes of the day as part of their presentations. Although these were random selections I received comments like "good ones" & "All quoted statements are great. I try to live what they say."
Below is a second set of five that I selected that is not random but establishes a theme.
1. "We have met the enemy & he is us." - Pogo, April 22, 1970
2. "Men at some time were masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves. . ." - Cassius speaking to Brutus in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar
3. "This city is what it is because our citizens are what they are." - Plato writing in The Republic
4. "Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected." - Steve Jobs
5. "You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go." Jeannette Rankin
