Quotes·Quotations by Thomas D. Willhite[2]
¶ Just because you are seventy is no excuse to give up and let others make your decisions for you. The fact that you are still alive is reason enough to believe that you are here for a purpose; and that purpose is to learn, to teach, and to GIVE.
¶ Listen to your I AM’s. You are your I AM’s – the ones you feel in your gut. And the moment that you say, “I refuse to listen to my limitations any more; I refuse to be this or that; I am happier; I am healthier; I am more open; I am more trusting,” you start becoming that way.
¶ YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU. Assuming a responsibility means changing a wrong into a right. In other words, if the way you feel is not right, then assuming responsibility means changing it.
¶ You don't have to be sick to get better! You don't have to have a bad attitude to get a better one.
¶ You don’t have to have a bad attitude to get a better one. All too often we resist a change because we assume change means that we were “not OK” which hurts our self-image. Your attitude may be great right now…and it can get even better. Why not get better? Why not do more, be more? Why not extend those limits?
¶ Leadership is not a right or a position, it is a responsibility.

John Lennon (1940-1980)
John Lennon (1940-1980)
John Ono Lennon, MBE, born John Winston Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician, singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a founder member of The Beatles, one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Together with Paul McCartney, he formed one of the most celebrated songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.[1]
Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved as a teenager in the skiffle craze; his first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to raising his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.
Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing, drawings, on film and in interviews. Controversial through his political and peace activism, he moved to New York City in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while some of his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement.
As of 2012 Lennon's solo album sales in the United States exceed 14 million units, and as writer, co-writer or performer, he is responsible for 25 number-one singles on the US Hot 100 chart. In 2002 a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted him eighth, and in 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer of all-time. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
Quotes·Quotations by John Lennon
¶ Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.
This quote captures the essence of life’s unpredictability and the importance of living in the moment rather than being overly preoccupied with future plans.
¶ I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
