Let's say that when every one of us is born we bring with us a little ring of power. That little ring is almost immediately put to use.

Regulations about environments are going to get tougher and tougher.

Alan Greenspan

Regulation - which is based on force and fear - undermines the moral base of business dealings. It becomes cheaper to bribe a building inspector than to meet his standards of construction. Protection of the consumer by regulation is thus illusory.

Carlos Castaneda

To seek the perfection of the warrior's spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.

Carlos Castaneda

There's no way to put a limit on what one may accomplish individually if the intent is an impeccable intent. Don Juan's teachings are not spiritual.

The most important thing for a shaman like don Juan is the idea of pragmatism.

Carlos Castaneda

The hardest thing in the world is to assume the mood of a warrior. It is of no use to be sad and complain and feel justified in doing so,believing that someone is always doing something to us. Nobody is doing anything to anybody, much less to a warrior.

Bobby Bowden

We wanted to win our way in, but we didn't do it.
