"Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal." - Vincent Lombardi

Quotes About Solitude
I saw this beautiful video on the Design Mom blog titled "How to Be Alone."
Lovely and thought provoking. I've always loved spending time alone. Being with family and friends is wonderful, but I think everyone should learn how to enjoy a little solitude once in awhile.
Here are a few of my favorite quotes about solitude:
The world is an incredible unfulfilled tapestry, and only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours." - Leo Buscaglia
"I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity." - Albert Einstein
"We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness." - Hunter S. Thompson
I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. - Henry David Thoreau, "Solitude," Walden, 1854
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau, 1854
"The great omission in American life is solitude; not loneliness, for this is an alienation that thrives most in the midst of crowds, but that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit." - Marya Mannes
"Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement." - Alice Koller
