Intellectual death is endemic in areas where people are unprepared to obtain new information for development. Learning is a way of staying alive.

Life really can become whatever you are prepared to make it.

Expectations hinder you from being prepared for the unexpected.

Death would not surprise us as often as it does, if we let go of the misbelief that newborns are less mortal than the elderly.

I note the lengths to which Christianist groups are prepared to go to, to influence government and to network hate-churches in order to get their way and to rob people of their human rights, and it gives me cold chills.

Intellectual death is endemic in areas where people are not prepared to gain new information for development. Learning is the intervention!

Don't rush in order to have things done early. Be prepared before you set off. That's the rule. However, this does not mean that you keep delaying the time for beginning. You must begin by all means! Go, get prepared!

Life can be as easy as you wish to make it, or as difficult as you are prepared to believe that it is.

Life gives you what you expect, what you are prepared to put up with or can change.
