“Loneliness is the prison of the human spirit. When we are lonely, we pace back and forth in small, shut-in worlds.”
John Powell“We must be trying to learn who we really are rather than trying to tell ourselves who we should be.”
John Powell, Books By John Powell: Unconditional Love/Why Am I Afraid To Tell You Who I Am/The Secret Of Staying In Love/Fully Human, Fully Alive“Loneliness is the prison of the human spirit. When we are lonely, we pace back and forth in small, shut-in worlds.”
John Powell, Will the Real Me Please Stand Up?: 25 Guidelines for Good Communication“When Marconi suggested the possibility of wireless transmission of sound (the radio),he was committed to a mental institution. But people like Lincoln, Edison, and Marconi were strongly motivated. So they didn't give up. They somehow knew that the only real failure is the one from which we learn nothing. They seemed to go on the assumption that there is no failure greater than the failure of not trying, and so they continued to try in the face of repeated failures.”
