Post it up.

One of my favorites when I was a young athlete, was this from Grantland Rice:

"For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He marks not that you won or lost, but how you played the game."

I don't know that that attitude is all that pervasive anymore, but it should be.

I live by that and I think it's why I have had a reasonable amount of success in business.

My favorite quote follows nicely:

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

"Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It will only frustrate you and annoy the pig.

“With respect to the two words ‘general welfare,’ I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. If the words obtained so readily a place in the ‘Articles of Confederation,’ and received so little notice in their admission into the present Constitution, and retained for so long a time a silent place in both, the fairest explanation is, that the words, in the alternative of meaning nothing or meaning everything, had the former meaning taken for granted.”

-- James Madison, letter to James Robertson

"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one...."

-- James Madison, letter to Edmund Pendleton

"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated."

--Thomas Jefferson, letter to Albert Gallatin

"A wise and frugal government ... shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

-- Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address
