Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.
Confucius
BC 551-479 Chinese Philosopher
It's only when
we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and
that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin
to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Louis E.Boone
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
George Bernard Shaw
Never measure the
height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see
how low it was.
Dag Hammarskjold
If you want to
succeed you should strike out on new paths rather than travel the worn
paths of accepted success."
John D. Rockefeller
Seek out that particular
mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along
with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and
when you have found that attitude, follow it.
William James
To those who wonder
whether they make a difference, here’s a helpful parable: according
to an M.I.T. physicist using mathematical models, it has been shown that
the beating of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can eventually exert enough
influence on natural forces to cause a tornado in Texas. You may
think of yourself as a tiny butterfly, but remember, you matter.
What you do has profound repercussions on those around you?
Michael Levine, Guerilla P.R.
There is a vitality,
a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action,
and 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 be lost.
The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine
how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business
to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do
not even have to believe in
yourself or your
work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate
you. Keep the channel open.
Martha Graham
With laughter,
you can get people thinking in a different track. When you’re thinking
positively, you’re open to laughter. When you’re open to laughter, you’re
open to other suggestions. You’re willing to look at something in a different
way. . . .It’s a feeling of “I can” . . . Laughter doesn’t cost anything—it’s
free. You should look for it every day.
Sid Caesar
Cherish your visions;
cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty
that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts,
for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment;
of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
James Allen
In order to be
irreplaceable, one must always be different.
Coco Chanel
