I talked to a lot of employers who just are, are fearful of what's coming next out of Washington. It's all the spending, it's all the debt.

I can't quite say that I was raised Muslim, but I remember up until 5 or so I would pray, you know, with my dad. And it's actually a beautiful practice.

I had always worked with the temperamental conviction that at bottom there are no insoluble problems, and experience justified me in so far as I have often seen patients simply outgrow a problem that had destroyed others.

Some higher or wider interest appeared on the patient's horizon, and through this broadening of his outlook the insoluble problem lost its urgency. — Carl Jung

Some opportunities are a calling. Others are a distraction. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. — Rick Warren
