Holbrook Welcome to the Holbrook New Media Audio Feed ------------------------------------------------ Today's quote is from Albert Einstein "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."

Robert Dallek & Ellen Goodman -DOTM050
September 07, 2015 10:00 - 6 minutes - 6.24 MBRobert Dallek, Historian "Don't be intimidated by people who seem to be experts. Hear their points of view and get their judgements. But at the end of day, you've got to make a judgement because it's not their life that's going to be affected so much as your future." Decision time. Something big. Something momentous that you can't avoid, and you must choose well. Consequences, good or bad are in the offing, and at this point you really wish you could see the future, or wish someone e...
Sigourney Weaver & Muhammed Ali -DOTM049
August 31, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 6.82 MBSigourney Weaver, Actor “I don't have ambitions, I believe in taking what comes. I have that philosophy about life in general. I go in and try to transform it into the best it can be.” You were just handed some lemons. What do you do? Most people are so familiar with that quote that they immediately say, “make lemonade”. Ms Weaver is going a step beyond that. She doesn’t get creative only at the time when things are not going so great, she is talking about discovering what is ava...
David Bowie & Bill Withers -DOTM048
August 24, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 7.38 MBDavid Bowie, Rock Star “As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I've got left?” Death is considered by many to be the ultimate end of all of us. While a lot of people live what is affectionately known as a “full lifetime”, many never get that chance. Those who die early from fast living, you know, that self destructive type of life that can kill you in an instant, and maybe take someone else down at the same time,...

Britney Spears & Jada Pinkett Smith -DOTM044
July 27, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.41 MBBritney Spears, Rock Star “Sometimes it’s our secrets that define us.” Secrets are usually things you don’t want others to know about. Hiding the truth changes everything. Most of the time it is not even something that is so horrible that others would shun us or want us dead. It is surprising to learn that many times the things we worry about most don’t really concern others very much. It changes our behavior because of our level of worry, but in the big scheme of things...
Roger Moore & Cassandra Peterson -DOTM043
July 20, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 6.92 MBRoger Moore, Actor and UNICEF Ambassador “I've always said if you've nothing nice to say about someone, then you should say nothing.” When you trash somebody, what actual good does it do? There is an effect, but what does it tell others about that person? Better yet, what does it tell others about you? Imagine if you will, that what you are telling is the exact, and honest truth. There is absolutely no chance that what you are telling is in anyway of dubious origin. That establishe...
Margaret Fuller & Robert Downey Jr -DOTM042
July 13, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 7.31 MBMargaret Fuller, Journalist and Women’s Rights Advocate "If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it." Interesting metaphor, knowledge being like fire, huh? Fire is interesting in that a very small quantity can do very large things when it is allowed to grow. It needs air and fuel, and for good or ill, it’s off to the races! Knowledge is one of the things you can give to other people that costs you nothing, but can have a tremendous impact on another’s life. Some...
Ashton Kutcher & Douglas Adams -DOTM041
July 06, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 7.21 MBAshton Kutcher, Actor “Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.” Have you ever noticed how backward dating is? You have two people who are desperately trying to act like someone they aren’t going to a place they aren’t comfortable, and ...
Carly Fiorina & Steve Jobs -DOTM040
June 29, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 6.88 MBCarly Fiorina, Former CEO, and Current Presidential Candidate “I lost my job in the most public way possible, and the press had a field day with it all over the world. And guess what? I'm still here.” When everything hits the fan, most people call it failure, and that is usually construed as quite the negative. Being human, this a completely natural reaction, mostly because it’s hard to feel positive when things didn’t work despite your best efforts, and you are not in control of the...
Steven Hawking & Yo-Yo Ma -DOTM039
June 22, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.68 MBMy wife Dee and I have a new show called the WV Podcast.

Stephen Hawking, Celebrated Physicist “In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright...
Judy Garland & Rosa Parks -DOTM038
June 15, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.6 MBJudy Garland, Actress “Be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else.” When a critic reviews a new actor in a smash hit movie, and they wonder where this person has been for all this time without being discovered, many times they say he was almost as good as John Wayne, or one of the other famous actors. It is quite well known that you can never out John Wayne John Wayne. Attempting to honor the legacy and learn from it is great, but to actually ...
Henry Ford & Yogi Berra -DOTM037
June 08, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.41 MBHenry Ford, Automotive Giant "My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me." Think about your best friend. Most of the time this would be the person who encourages you the most, tells you how well you are doing and listens to you when things are hitting the fan in your life. We all need a person like this around us, and we feel good while we are in their presence. Now, how about a person who will tactfully tell you the honest truth? Ooo, that's a little tougher. Hearing...
Carter G Woodson & Alan Alda -DOTM036
June 01, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 8.3 MBCarter G. Woodson, the Father Of Black History Month “If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have to worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don’t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told" In earlier episodes of Daggers Of The Mind, you have heard me say that what you think determines the decisions you make, and ...
Rob Walch & Rod Stewart -DOTM035
May 25, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 8.14 MBRob Walch, Vice President of Podcaster Relations at Liberated Syndication. More commonly known as Libsyn. This quote came from episode 45 of The Feed, the official Libsyn podcast. If you want to hear it, it happened at the 25 minute mark in the show. “Never blame on malice that which can easily be explained by incompetence.” Have you ever noticed how quickly we jump to the conclusion that someone has it out for us when things don’t go our way? On the individual level, that sometimes ...
Calvin Coolidge & Isaac Asimov -DOTM034
May 18, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.57 MBCalvin Coolidge, President Of The United States “I have never been hurt by what I have not said.” Most people hope that they have the right words to say at the right time, but have you ever contemplated the value of silence? Silence is probably the most underused form of speech. We somehow think we can make things better if we explain something more. This is clearly not always the case. It is possible to lose a sale, or a customer altogether if you keep on talking after the deal has...
Cesar Chavez & Giada De Laurentiis -DOTM033
May 11, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.84 MBCesar Chavez, Co-founder of The National Farm Workers Association “Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.” Let’s do the definition of disrespect. This time from the Urban Dictionary: a user called “this means“ defined it as: “the act of putting someone down, trying to make them feel low, treating someone in a horrible manner, showing a person they mean less than nothing to you, a hurtful act that is both rude and ignorant towards...
Faith Hill & Jennifer Lopez -DOTM032
May 04, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 7.38 MBThis first quote was contributed by my wife, Dee Holbrook. Faith Hill, Country Music Superstar “I don't know why 'happy' can't be a story.” Most checkout lines in your local stores have them. People subscribe to get them, and there are entire TV shows dedicated to propagating them. Enough people want to hear them that millions are made. All those who want a piece of the business have to do, is publish bold faced lies. I just noticed this week that for probably the 20th time, th...
Amelia Earhart & Samuel L. Jackson -DOTM031
April 27, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.43 MBAmelia Earhart, Aviation Pioneer "Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn’t be done.” In the 19th century. It was thought by experts that going at speeds of over 30 miles an hour on railroad trains would induce suffocation. I am assuming that this was because the normal force of outward breath was less than the pressure of air rushing by at high speeds. This actually is logical in the absence of experimentation. I am assuming the only persons who had gone faster were ...
Bart Starr & J. K. Rowling -DOTM030
April 20, 2015 10:00 - 7 minutes - 7.25 MBBart Starr, Legendary Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers “We, all of us, could do a much better job of evoking what someone has called the universal principle of human altruism: the urge in us all to help others who are in danger.” My wife and I were recently on a little jaunt to a park in a nearby town, when we saw a man laying by the road near his bicycle. As we got closer, it was clear that he was an older man, and that he was in pain. We pulled over and tried to see what we co...
Juliette Lewis & Albert Einstein -DOTM029
April 13, 2015 10:00 - 8 minutes - 7.82 MBJuliette Lewis, Actress “The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them their dreams are invalid.” I know a person who spent their childhood being told that almost anything they said or thought was “nonsense”. Just as frequently, she was told what she thought didn’t matter because, she was “just a girl”. In this day and time, this type of treatment is considered completely outrageous. Back then it was tolerated in some circles. Many of us carry the scars of mental cruelty engender...
Kristi Yamaguchi & John Travolta -DOTM028
April 11, 2015 11:32 - 8 minutes - 8.05 MBKristi Yamaguchi, Olympic Champion “Having achieved my own dreams, I want to give to kids who are less fortunate, who struggle with everyday obstacles. I want to give them something positive in their lives: support.” After winning the gold in women’s singles figure skating in the 1992 Olympics and having an amazing amateur and pro career. Kristi Yamaguchi had lived her dreams. She decided it was time to give back to the world by starting the Always Dream foundation. From th...
Maureen O'Hara & Eleanor Roosevelt -DOTM027
April 11, 2015 11:31 - 8 minutes - 7.9 MBThis first quote was supplied by my wife and love of my life, Dee Holbrook Actress Maureen O’Hara “Above all else, deep in my soul, I'm a tough Irishwoman.” Some of my favorite classic movies had Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne in them. Ms. O’Hara’s characters always had a toughness, but were still able to maintain a ladylike feel. I always admired this combination in her and other women I knew growing up, and am proud to say I married a wonderful woman with a similar dispositi...
Martha Washington & Abraham Lincoln -DOTM026
April 11, 2015 11:31 - 8 minutes - 7.54 MB1st Lady of the United States, Martha Washington “The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances. We carry the seeds of the one or the other about with us in our minds wherever we go.” What kind of a mood are you in right now? Good, bad, ugly? Interestingly, your mood will help decide what kind of day you are having. Our actions have to begin somewhere. The obvious is that you must think it before you can do it. Your state of ...
Paul Simon & Benedict Cumberbatch -DOTM025
April 11, 2015 11:30 - 7 minutes - 6.94 MBMusic Legend Paul Simon “I was eating in a Chinese restaurant downtown. There was a dish called Mother and Child Reunion. It’s chicken and eggs. And I said, I gotta use that one.” Have you ever looked down into your plate of food and gotten inspired? Most people feel inspiration in a sunrise, the ocean, a storm, or some other mighty and grandiose thing. What about the small things? I have mentioned in an earlier episode of Daggers Of The Mind that it seems most of us blaze thro...
Theodore Roosevelt & Hillary Clinton -DOTM024
April 10, 2015 11:16 - 8 minutes - 7.76 MBI would like to thank Anthony Criner for bringing up this subject the other day, which prompted me to search for this quote. President Theodore Roosevelt “A man who is good enough to shed his blood for the country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards.” Have you ever noticed in the news how often the U.S. Government drops the ball when it comes to returning veterans? We have a state-of-the-art life SAVING system, but then when the recuperation phase is entered, ...
Maya Angelou & Ellen Degeneres -DOTM023
April 10, 2015 11:14 - 7 minutes - 7.28 MBThis first quote was posted by my Aunt, Donna Gibson. Maya Angelo, American author, poet, dancer, actress, and singer. “Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.” A couple of episodes ago, we spoke about hate using a quote from the Rev. Martin Luther King. Jr. He said that hate was such a heavy burden that he chose love instead. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Episode That is a very good idea since most of the horrible things that ha...
