Default Lookup some quotes for me?

Can someone post some quotes relating to Power from the book?

I'd appreciate it.

Amazon.com: Personal Development for Smart People: The Conscious Pursuit of Personal Growth (9781401922757): Steve Pavlina: Books

It's $4.88 for a used copy, and $17 for a new copy. If you buy it on the kindle it's a little less than $10.

I don't want to cheat you out of all the value you'd get by reading the whole thing by finding some snippets for you.

I've owned my own copy I just don't have with me.

It's how I knew to ask about Power quotes?


Thank you.

Some quotes relating to Power from "Avid Shakespeare quoter" book.

1."Fair is foul and foul is fair."
2."When our actions do not, Our fears do make us traitors."
3."What's done cannot be undone."

I have the book right here so I will give you a quote. It's easy to find because I have highlighted many sentences.

Quote:
Don't compare yourself to other people. If you think you're weak, everyone else will seem strong.
EDIT : I posted that at 12:12.

Not from Steve, but came to mind when reading the last post:

Default p.52 in the part about Focus

Quote:
Time isn't a disposable resource. You can't spend time. No matter what you do or don't do, time passes on its own. You have no choice whether to spend time or not; your only choice is how you direct your focus in the present moment.

In reality, you're never in the past or future. You exist only in the here-and-now. Even when you remember the past or envision the future, you're still thinking those thoughts in the present. All you have is right now, and that's all you'll ever have. You can't control the passage of time, but you can control your present focus. That's it - no past, no future, just right now.
One of my present favorite songs is about that:

Now by Linda Pettersson Bratt | Myspace Music

When there's no way out there's still a way through. 'Cause NOW is all there is, so peaceful and still, in NOW you don't worrry about what happened or what will. 'Cause NOW never ends and NOW has never been and all of your answers are waiting for you here, NOW.

Just came across this one while reading an old post of Steve. Quite true.

It’s amazing that people will spend extra money to buy a faster computer or a fuel efficient car, but they’ll barely pay any attention to their personal capacity.
