Famous quotes by Tony Buzan:

"Whatever your discipline, become a student of excellence in all things. Take every opportunity to observe people who manifest the qualities of mastery."

"Learning how to learn is life's most important skill."

"The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old."

"This is a very dangerous year for Britain. The Germans have some extraordinary talent, and they are saying they can win the individual and team gold."

"The body was being given all the publicity, so you had the world athletic championships, you had rugby championships, you had football championships -- and where was the brain? I mean, the brain was at the head of all these bodies."

Love Me More

by Tony Pacino

Love Me More

by: Tony Pacino

Here we are, no matter if the time goes by,
No matter if the world asks why
Our love is still alive.
You and I as before, with no fear for tomorrow
Will come and pass away, I know
But here we are still waiting for,
We don't know what will come
When the moonlight blows out
But we will always say
Love me more, than the flowers love the sun,
More than moonlight love the stars
More than you really are
Oh, give me more, than the river gives to the sea
Than a mother gives to her child
Give me more than you can
We pass through, as strangers in a dark night,
No chance one day to see light, no chances fall again
When we can't toll the time,
When we can't stay a while so close
And see what are we used to do
And see what I still want to do
So time will only come and we will fear no more
Cause we always remind
Love me more, than the flowers love the sun,
More than moonlight love the stars
More than you really are
Oh, give me more, than the river gives to the sea
Than a mother gives to her child
Give me more than you can
Love me more than the birds love the sky
Than the old man loves his life
More than you realize
Oh, give me more than another,

Tony Buzan
