One of the reasons why i say we all need to work together to save the congo forest, because if we don't save the congo forest, the amazon forest and the southeast asia forest, if those forests release the carbon they are trapping at the moment, much of what you will be doing in the north will be negated by the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.

Our lives are like islands in the sea, or like trees in the forest. the maple and the pine may whisper to each other with their leaves ... but the trees also commingle their roots in the darkness underground, and the islands also hang together through the ocean's bottom.

The necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. they find it difficult to get food, and the greater part of their little revenue is spent in getting it. the luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess ... it is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.

I don't believe that the american people want us to focus on our job security. they want us to focus on their job security. i don't think they want more gridlock. i don't think they want more partisanship. i don't think they want more obstruction. they didn't send us to washington to fight each other in some sort of political steel-cage match to see who comes out alive. that's not what they want. they sent us to washington to work together, to get things done, and to solve the problems that they're grappling with every single day.

Where focus goes, energy flows. and where energy flows, whatever you're focusing on grows. in other words, your life is controlled by what you focus on. that's why you need to focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. when you next find yourself in a state of uncertainty, resist your fear. shift your focus toward where you want to go and your actions will take you in that direction.
