Inspirations for Mon., May 14, 2012

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
- Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx, 1890-1977, Comedian and Film Star

- Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, Author of Think and Grow Rich

- Karl Menninger
