QUOTATION OR
THOUGHT AUTHOR The biggest mistake people
make in life is not trying to make a living at
doing what they most enjoy. ~ Malcomb S. Forbes
~ (1919-1990, American
Publisher, Businessman) Act as if what you do
makes a difference. It does. ~ William James
~ (1842-1910, American
Psychologist, Professor, Author) Don't stop the plough to
kill a mouse. Do not hinder important business for
the discussion of a trifle. ~C. H.
Spurgeon~ Let not your tongue say
what your head may pay for. Italian
proverb Most folks are about as
happy as they make up their minds to be. ~ Abraham Lincoln
~ (1809-1865, Sixteenth
President of the USA) To try may be to die, but
not to care is never to be born. ~William
Redfield~ You have powers you never
dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you
could do. There are no limitations in what you can
do except the limitations in your own mind as to
what you cannot do. Don't think you cannot. Think
you can. ~Darwin P.
Kingsley~ Experience is not what
happens to a man, it is what a man does with what
happens to him. ~ Aldous Huxley
~ (1825-1895, British
Biologist, Educator) Why, since the world
began, the surest road to fame Has been the field
where men unknown might win themselves a name; And
well I know the brightest eyes have all the
brighter shone, When looking at some warrior bold,
returned from battle won. Charles Jefferys
(1807 - 1865) Ordinary people believe
only in the possible. Extraordinary people
visualize not what is possible or probable, but
rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the
impossible, they begin to see it as
possible. ~ Cherie
Carter-Scott ~ There are lots of people
who, taking great pains to put on becoming clothes,
never for an instant think of putting on a becoming
frame of mind. Emily Post Etiquette Most of the important
things in the world have been accomplished by
people who have kept on trying when there seemed to
be no hope at all. ~Dale~ Vision without action is
merely a dream. Action without vision just passes
time. Vision without action can change the world. A
true leader must first see an idea as opportunity,
then choose to act upon it. ~ Joel Barker
~ (American Businessman,
Consultant, Author) Who waits upon the when
and how, remains forever in the rear. ~James Weldon
Johnson~ (1871 -
1938) If you see a whole thing-
it seems that it's always beautiful. Planets,
lives...But up close a world's all dirt and rocks.
And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired,
you lose the pattern. ~Ursula Le
Guin~ Adversity is the
foundation of virtue. ~ Japanese Proverb
~ Every man I meet is my
superior in some way. In that, I learn of
him. ~Ralph Waldo
Emerson~ We cannot live only for
ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our
fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic
threads, our actions run as causes, and they come
back to us as effects. ~Herman
Melville~ Time is but the stream I
go a-fishin in. I drink at it, but while I drink I
see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.
It's thin current slides away, but eternity
remains. ~Henry David
Thoreau~ Often people attempt to
live their lives backwards: they try to have more
things, or more money, in order to do more of what
they want so they will be happier. The way it
actually works is the reverse. You must first be
who you really are, then, do what you need to do,
in order to have what you want. ~ Margaret Young
~ Whatever does not destroy
me makes me stronger. ~Friedrich
Nietzsche~ The Twilight of
Idols Out of difficulties grow
miracles. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
~ (1645-1696, French
Writer) Mountains of gold would
not seduce some men, yet flattery would break them
down. ~Henry Ward
Beecher~ If you want to feel rich,
just count all of the things you have that money
can't buy. Anonymous Most of us are pretty good
at keeping promises to others and pretty bad at
keeping promises to ourselves. ~ Lawrence LeShan
~ Most Americans who
complain that they enjoy too little leisure are
struggling to find a few extra minutes to watch
Oprah Winfrey and L.A. Law. ~Gary
Burtless~ Wall Street Journal -
January 4, 1990 Power may justly be
compared to a great river; while kept within its
bounds it is both beautiful and useful, but when it
overflows its banks, it brings destruction and
desolation to all in its way. ~Andrew
Hamilton~ It is time to start living
the life you imagined. ~Henry
James~ I've seen a lot of men die
only a few months after they retire. Sure, working
can kill you. But so can not working. ~Lee
Iacocca~ Often people attempt to
live their lives backwards: they try to have more
things, or more money, in order to do more of what
they want so they will be happier. The way it
actually works is the reverse. You must first be
who you really are, then, do what you need to do,
in order to have what you want. ~ Margaret Young
~ (American
Author) Now is the dwelling place
of God himself. ~Thomas R.
Kelly~ 'Are you not,'a Rugby
master had asked him in discussing one of his
essays, 'a little out of your depth here?'
'Perhaps, Sir' was the confident reply, 'but I can
swim.' ~Archbishop William
Temple~ (1881 -
1944) I've believed ever since
that living on the edge, living in and through your
fear, is the summit of life, and that people who
refuse to take that dare condemn themselves to a
life of living death. ~ John H. Johnson
~ (American Businessman,
Founder of Johnson Publishing) Have more than thou
showest, Speak less than thou knowest, Lend less
than thou owest. ~William
Shakespeare~ King Lear All art is but an
imitation of nature. ~Seneca~ People do not lack
strength; they lack will. ~ Victor Hugo
~ (1802-1885, French Poet,
Dramatist, Novelist) You can discover more
about a person in an hour of play than in a year of
conversation.
~Plato~ Dignity does not consist
in posessing honors, but in deserving
them. ~Aristotle~ Hope begins in the dark,
the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try
to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait
and watch and work: you don't give up. ~ Anne Lamott
~ (American
Writer) If the only prayer you
said in your whole life was, 'thank you'; that
would suffice. ~Meister
Eckhar ~ The only place where
success comes before work is in a
dictionary. ~ Vidal Sassoon
~ (American
Hairdresser) I don't want to get to the
end of my life and find that I have just lived the
length of it. I want to also have lived the width
of it as well. ~Diane
Ackerman~ Associate yourself with
men of good quality, if you esteem your own
reputation; for it is better to be alone than in
bad company. ~ George Washington
~ (1732-1799, First
President of the USA) Many persons have a wrong
idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not
attained through self gratification, but through
fidelity to a worthy purpose. ~Helen
Keller~ We should set goals within
the limits of our resources while working to the
limits of our powers. ~ Richard M. Nixon
~ (1913-1994, Thirty-seventh
President of the USA) Let your heart guide you.
It whispers, so listen closely. From the Land Before
Time Procrastination is the art
of keeping up with yesterday. ~ Don Marquis ~ (1878-1937, American
Humorist, Journalist) The foolish man seeks
happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under
his feet. ~ James
Oppenheim~ Read, every day, something
no one else is reading. Think, every day, something
no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something
no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad
for the mind to be always part of
unanimity. ~ Christopher Morley
~ (1890-1957, American
Novelist, Journalist, Poet) The truth is that the
beginning of anything and its end are alike and
touching. ~Yoshida
Kenko~ The sea does not reward
those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too
impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only
impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience,
patience, patience, is what the sea teaches.
Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open,
choiceless as a beach -- waiting for a gift from
the sea. ~ Anne Morrow
Lindbergh ~ (1906-, American
Author) That best portion of a
good man's life; His little, nameless, unremembered
acts of kindness and love. ~William
Wordsworth~ Enthusiasm, like measles,
mumps and the common cold, is highly
contagious. ~ Emory Ward
~ When a man feels throbbing
within him the power to do what he undertakes as
well as it can possibly be done, and all of his
faculties say amen to what he is doing, and give
their unqualified approval to his efforts, - this
is happiness, this is success. ~ Orison Swett
Marden ~ All my life I used to
wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then,
about seven years ago, I realized that I was never
going to grow up - that growing is an ever ongoing
process. ~ M. Scott Peck
~ (American Psychiatrist,
Author) There is only one of you
in all time, this expression is unique. And if you
block it, it will never exist through any other
medium and it will be lost. ~ Martha Graham
~ Other people's opinion of
you does not have to become your
reality. ~ Les Brown ~ (1945-, American Speaker,
Author, Trainer, Motivator
Lecturer) Associate yourself with
men of good quality, if you esteem your own
reputation; for it is better to be alone than in
bad company. ~ George
Washington ~ Diamonds are nothing more
than chunks of coal that stuck to their
jobs. ~ Malcolm Forbes
