"Behold the turtle. He only
makes progress when he sticks his neck out." “And in the end, it's not the years
in your life that count. It's the life in your years.” “If you are irritated by every rub,
how will your mirror be polished?” Our doubts are traitors, And make
us lose the good we oft might win, By fearing to attempt. "Manner is personality - the
outward manifestation of one's innate character and attitude toward
life." "Pain nourishes courage. You
can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you." "Failure is not the falling
down, but the staying down." “In this world, you must be a bit
too kind in order to be kind enough.” “One of the most time-consuming things
is to have an enemy.” "The future doesn't just happen—it's
shaped by decisions." "The first rule of holes is
that when you're in one, stop digging." "Why not? Why not you? Why not
now?" "If you are going through hell,
keep going." “You have brains in your head. You
have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you
choose.” “On no account brood over your wrong-doing.
Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.” “Far better it is to dare mighty
things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure,
than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much
nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows
not victory or defeat.” “Be a good ancestor. Stand for something
bigger than yourself. Add value to the Earth during your sojourn.”
“Let us endeavour so to live that
when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” “The first rule is, to keep an untroubled
spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for
what they are.” “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't
stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” “There will come a time when you
believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.” “Take your heart to work, and ask
the most and best of everybody else too.” “Invest yourself entirely in the
here and now.” "I have learned to live each
day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow." "You don't just deal with adversity.
You use it to propel you forward." It is a miserable state of mind to
have few things to desire, and many things to fear. "Strive for perfection in everything.
Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn't exist,
create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough." "Look at a man in the midst
of doubt and danger, and you will learn in his hour of adversity
what he really is." I will love the light for it shows
me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the
stars. If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you'll die a lot of times. – Dean Smith, American Basketball Coach Take a chance! All life is a chance.
The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to
do and dare. Knowledge rests not upon truth alone,
but upon error also. – "How wonderful it is that nobody
need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." "Every failure, obstacle or
hardship is an opportunity in disguise. Success in many cases is
failure turned inside out." "Daring ideas are like chessmen
moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning
game." "We all have ability. The difference
is how we use it." |
