"A wizard cannot do everything; a fact most magicians are reticent to admit, let alone discuss with prospective clients. Still, the fact remains that there are certain objects, and people, that are, for one reason or another, completely immune to any direct magical spell.

It also does no harm, in dealing with these matters, to carry a large club near your person at all times." »The Teachings of Ebenezum, Volume VIII

"Principal Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

"Ready comprehension is often a knee-jerk response and the most dangerous form of understanding. It blinks an opaque screen over your ablility to learn.

"Where there is life, there is hope. Where there are hopes, there are dreams. Where there are vivid dreams repeated, they become goals.

The response to the challenges of life -- purpose -- is the healing balm that enables each of us to face up to adversity and strife." »Denis Watley
