assumptions, vision, belief

Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
~ Henry Winkler

Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly, naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.
~ Kathleen Norris

Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, use that something to support their own existence.
~ Frank Zappa
