(Leo Buscaglia)

In the comic strip Peanuts, Snoopy walks up to Charlie Brown and his sister Sally, giving them each a great big hug. When he rests his head on their shoulders a little heart floats up into the air around them. In the last panel as Snoopy walks off smiling from ear to ear, Charlie Brown says to the puzzled Sally, "You can always tell when he's been listening to his Leo Buscaglia tapes."

Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don't take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.
-Noah Porter
