More From Thomas Jefferson

Man little knows what calamities are beyond his patience to bear till he tries them; as in ascending the heights of ambition, which look bright from below, every step we rise shows us some new and gloomy prospect of hidden disappointment; so in our descent from the summits of pleasure, though the vale of misery below may appear, at first, dark and gloomy, yet the busy mind, still attentive to its own amusement, finds, as we descend, something to flatter and to please. still as we approach, the darkest objects appear to brighten, and the mortal eye becomes adapted to its gloomy situation.

You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. you have to make the mind run the body. never let the body tell the mind what to do. the body will always give up. it is always tired morning, noon, and night. but the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. when you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired... you've always got to make the mind take over and keep going.

If you find common subjects or interests with a prospect, you can establish a business friendship. ask about a diploma or picture. your prospect will be glad to talk about what he/she just did or likes to do. try to captivate him or her in intelligent conversation with engaging questions about their interests. it's obviously better if you're versed in the subject, because that's where rapport is established. get the prospect to talk about their passions and what makes them happy.

Crime is based upon need, making money. people sell drugs to make money. but if everybody is cared for, they don't sell drugs and if there's no money you can't sell drugs even if you wanted to. there'd be no such thing as gambling, prostitution, or selling out, or paying off a senator or a governor. there are no senators, there are no governors so you can't pay them off. if you take away the basis or the condition that generate abhorrent behavior, you don't have abhorrent behavior.

The landscape affects the human psyche - the soul, the body and the innermost contemplations - like music. every time you feel nature deeper you resonate better with her, finding new elements of balance and freedom.
