"10 Quotes to Help You When Starting A Business September 19, 2008 By samirbalwani 6 Comments inShare Starting a business is never easy. Competition is tough, and you’ll have your ups and downs. Sometimes, though, those downs seem to last forever, and it’s important to remember, there’s always light at the end of tunnel. I’ve put together a list of a few quotes that I refer to, when things just can’t seem to get worst. They usually make me feel better, and help me through to the hard time to the times where I’m proud to say, I’m a business owner…
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. Henry David Thoreau
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking. William B. Sprague
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall. Confucius
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out. Robert Collier
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will. Vince Lombardi
There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something. Henry Ford
Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt. William Shakespeare
We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do. Samuel Smiles
All misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune." Henry David Thoreau

Huh, really.
FreedomWorks bets big against Orrin Hatch
"Forget about Senate Democrats and President Barack Obama. FreedomWorks, the influential Washington-based tea party group, is now waging an all-out war on a member of its own party: Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), whose defeat would send a major statement to establishment Republicans that the tea party has staying power."
Federal records show that the group has virtually ignored incumbent Senate Democrats in its quest to take down the 35-year Senate veteran ahead of crucial statewide caucuses Thursday.
According to campaign finance filings, FreedomWorks has spent more than $615,000 to defeat Hatch — dumping cash to recruit volunteers, elect prospective convention delegates, send direct mail and launch TV and radio spots.
In contrast, the group has spent just $1,700 against incumbent Senate Democrats at this point, including against one who has since said he’d retire at year’s end: Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska. About $175,000 has been spent attacking Obama, with an additional $290,000 supporting GOP Senate candidates in other races, records show.
The group’s tactics are the latest chapter of the debate still hounding Republicans as they try to win a majority on Capitol Hill this November: Should they purge their own to find fresh blood who will be less willing to seek bipartisan compromises by straying from conservative principles? Or should they unite behind the most electable candidate and train all their fire power on Democrats?Source: FreedomWorks bets big against Orrin Hatch - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com
The RINO, establishment republicans need to take heed to the people who vote. The old ways and canidates are a thing of the past.
Falk made the demand Monday at a news conference after the Wisconsin State Journal reported that the number of DNR environmental permit violation notices dropped to a 12-year low in 2011. DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp told the newspaper she wants the agency to focus on customer service and not be so intimidating.
SEALs slam Obama for using them as 'ammunition' in bid to take credit for bin Laden killing during election campaign
By TOBY HARNDENPUBLISHED: 18:35 EST, 30 April 2012 | UPDATED: 19:34 EST, 30 April 2012
Serving and former US Navy SEALs have slammed President Barack Obama for taking the credit for killing Osama bin Laden and accused him of using Special Forces operators as ‘ammunition’ for his re-election campaign.
The SEALs spoke out to MailOnline after the Obama campaign released an ad entitled ‘One Chance’.
In it President Bill Clinton is featured saying that Mr Obama took ‘the harder and the more honourable path’ in ordering that bin Laden be killed. The words ‘Which path would Mitt Romney have taken?’ are then displayed.
Besides the ad, the White House is marking the first anniversary of the SEAL Team Six raid that killed bin Laden inside his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan with a series of briefings and an NBC interview in the Situation Room designed to highlight the ‘gutsy call’ made by the President.
