A nugget of wisdom is more valuable than a nugget of gold-and considerably harder to pan out of a river. I'll be 33 in March, and all I've found so far is fool's gold. Still, I was able to trade it for political favors.

More from Jarod Kintz & related wisdom
Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.
One can lead a nation only by helping it see a bright outlook. A leader is a dealer in hope.
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
Prejudice is not a failing peculiar to one race, it can and does exist in people of every race and ethnic background. It takes individual effort to root it out of one's heart. In my case my father and mother saw that it never got a start. I shall be forever grateful to them.
You have got to have something in which to believe. You have got to have leaders, organization, friendships, and contacts that help you to believe that, and help you to put out your best.
