    motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others." Ayn Rand

    should stare at her, when this event was so personally her own that nocommunication about it was possible, and a sense of fitness that they should be

    greatest gift a human being could offer to others." Ayn Rand

    happiness is not in self-seeking but in self-forgetting." Dr. Theodor Reik

    Kids go where there is excitement. They stay where there is love.

    Zig Ziglar

    "The things we accept as normal and enjoy today were considered impossible

    twenty-five years ago and beyond the power of man to achieve. The early "Buck

    Rogers" and "Flash Gordon" comic strips were fantastic and considered outsidethe realm of man's attainment. They were considered figments of man's

    imagination, but now many of these miraculous, imaginative things have become

    realities and man is pushing onward toward new and higher goals of achievement.

    We are now mentally prepared for every new invention and advancement in

    technology and the sciences , but, nevertheless, stand amazed at man's powers to

    create and achieve. These outstanding accomplishments, which approach the

    miraculous, to me are unquestioned evidence of man's divine nature. Man has

    sent up satellites which circle the globe. He has taken the breathtaking,

    miraculous ride about the earth. He expects to circle the moon and even land man

    on the outer planets; also he considers feasible floating platforms in outer space

    as intermediate stations for interplanetary travel."

    Delbert L. Stapley

    When you give a man a dole you deny him his dignity, and when you deny him his
