“My untidy habits drive me to follow the slash-and-burn principle. Work on a virgin table until the mess becomes unbearable, then move on to a clean table in a clean room - or, on a beautiful summer day like this, one of the five tables dotted around the garden. Trash that table and move on again.” BeautifulMovingRoomsPrinciplesFiveHabitSummerGardenTablesCleanMessVirginsTrashUnbearableSummer DaysDays Like This Author:Richard Dawkins

“I started a modeling agency and I had it for about five and a half years and it was the same time I was actually working with the WWE and doing SmackDown.

“One of the more popular activities was “Talk-O-Matic”. Five people at a time could write messages, and read each other's messages, on the same screen. Today, Internet chat rooms work on the same principle. One of the remarkable new features of this page was that you could log in with an invented name, and pretend you were anyone you wanted - any name, any age, any gender. One favorite trick was to log in using the name of someone else already logged into the page, simply to confuse everyone else.” PeopleWritingAgeTodayWantedNamesRoomsPrinciplesFiveInternetActivityMessagesPagesGenderScreensTricksFeaturesRemarkable Author:Guy Consolmagno
“The secret is contained in a three-part formula I learned in the gym: self confidence, a positive mental attitude, and honest hard work. Many people are aware of these principles, but very few can put them into practice. Every day I hear someone say, 'I'm to fat. I need to lose twenty-five pounds, but I can't. I never seem to improve.' I'd hate myself if I had that kind of attitude, if I were that weak. I can lose ten to forty pounds rapidly, easily, painlessly, by simply setting my mind to it.” PeopleIfsNeedsMindKindI CanSelfHardSeemsHateThreeLosesSecretAttitudePrinciplesPracticeFiveHonestHard WorkTenWeakTwentiesSelf ConfidenceSettingFatsSettingsFortyPoundsGymFormulasTwenty FiveMental AttitudePositive Mental AttitudeHate Myself Book:Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder Source: Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder

“Of these five vital principles, Love is the foremost. It is Love that flows as the under-current for the other four values. How does it flow this way? When Love is associated with our thoughts, it manifests itself as Truth. When Love is associated with feelings, it produces Peace. When Love animates actions, it results in Right Action. When Love is combined with understanding it becomes Non-violence. Therefore whenever you feel angry, think of love, develop thoughts of love in your heart. You will have peace.” ThinkingWayFeelsHeartDoeFeelingsActionValuesUnderstandingLove IsResultsPrinciplesFiveFourViolenceProduceFlowAngryCurrentsOur ThoughtsNon ViolenceRight Action Author:Sathya Sai Baba
“There was a time when hip-hop was its own musical principle, aside from sampling. Like the entire Wild Style break is instrumental. Kurtis Blow's earliest stuff was studio musicians playing.
