“When thou cam'st first, Thou strok'st me and made much of me; wouldst give me Water with berries in't; and teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night; and then I loved thee And showed thee all the qualities o' th' isle, The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.” GivingFirstsMadeLightNightNamesWaterQualityTeachSpringBiggerGive MeAstronomyTheePitsDay And NightBarrenFertileTempestBerriesIsleGonzalo From TempestCaliban Book:Four Late Plays Source: Four Late Plays
“Great leaders don't try to please everyone. Great leaders don't water down their message in order to make the tribe a bit bigger. Instead, they realize that a motivated, connected tribe in the midst of a movement is far more powerful than a larger group could ever be.” TryingOrderBitsWaterRealizingPowerfulLeaderGroupsMovementPleaseMessagesBiggerConnectedMidstMotivatedTribesGreat Leader Book:Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us Source: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us
“Everything seems beautiful because you don't understand. Those flying fish, they're not leaping for joy, they're jumping in terror. Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water, it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies, the glitter of putrescence. There's no beauty here, only death and decay.” WantBodySeemsBeautifulJoyWaterBeautyMillionsBiggerFishesTerrorTinyFlyingDecayJumpingGlitterLuminousGleamJumping In Author:Curt Siodmak
“Anita Johnston, Ph.D., author of Eating in the Light of the Moon, taught me to look in the mirror with curiosity rather than fear. So I may look at my reflection and think, 'That's interesting. I wonder why my body seems bigger today than it did yesterday. Maybe it's water weight. Maybe it's my outfit. Or maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me.' I know it's not possible for me to gain a noticeable amount of weight overnight, so I will go no further than that. I move on with my day without skipping a beat-and definitely without missing a meal.” ThinkingKnowsLooksMayBodyLightSeemsEyeTodayMovingWaterInterestingWonderMissingTaughtAmountMoonEatingBeatsReflectionGainsWeightBiggerMirrorsCuriosityYesterdayTricksMeals Author:Jenni Schaefer

“When you travel you realize how small you are. You need to be humble. You can't be a big, brash American. You think you have problems. You leave the States and you see people have bigger problems than you, much worse problems than you. They have nothing to eat, they have no water, they have no shelter, they have a terrible government. So you realize we complain about the government, we complain about food, whatever it is, and go somewhere else and you think, "Now I realize," you say, "Why people want to come to America."” PeopleThinkingWantNeedsStatesProblemBigsGovernmentAmericaWaterRealizingTerribleBiggerHumbleComplainingShelterSomewhere ElseBe HumbleBrashBigger Problems Author:Paul Theroux
