Albert Einstein: |
|
Only a life lived for others is worth living. |
|
|
Albert Einstein: |
|
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as
though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything
is a miracle. |
|
|
Albert Einstein: |
|
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything
that counts can be counted. |
|
|
Albert Einstein: |
|
Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man
of value. |
|
|

|
I do the very best I know how – the very best
I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end. |
|
|
Abraham Lincoln: |
|
I am not concerned that you have fallen – I am
concerned that you arise. |
|
|
Abraham Lincoln: |
|
Character is like a tree and reputation is like its
shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is
the real thing. |
|
|
Abraham Lincoln: |
|
I don’t know who my grandfather was; I am much
more concerned to know what his grandson will be. |
|
|
Abraham Lincoln: |
|
The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought
not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe
to be just. |
|
|

There never was a good war, or a bad peace. |
|
|
Benjamin Franklin: |
|
Either write something worth reading or do something
worth writing. |
|
|

We should never permit ourselves to do anything that
we are not willing to see our children do. |
|
|
Brigham Young: |
|
Love the giver more than the gift. |
|
|
Denis Waitley: |
|
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk
you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of
doing nothing. |
|
|
Denis Waitley: |
|
You must accept responsibility for your actions, but
not credit for your achievements. |
|
|
Denis Waitley: |
|
The results you achieve will be in direct proportion
to the effort you apply. |
|
|
Dwight D Eisenhower: |
|
The problem in defense is how far you can go without
destroying from within what you are trying to defend from
without. |
|
|
Dwight D Eisenhower: |
|
I have only one yardstick by which I test every major
problem – and that yardstick is: Is it good for
America? |
|
|
Napoleon Hill: |
|
There is always room for those who can be relied upon
to deliver the goods when they say they will. |

Peale: |
|
Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things
seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see
possibilities – always see them, for they’re
always there. |
|
|
Og Mandino: |
|
One of the greatest undiscovered joys of life comes
form doing everything one attempts to the best of one’s
ability. There is a special sense of satisfaction, a pride
in surveying such work, a work which is rounded, full,
exact, complete in its parts, which is the superficial
person who leaves his or her work in a slovenly, slipshod,
half-finished condition, can never know. It is this conscientious
completeness which turns any work into art. The smallest
task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement. |
|
|
Ralph Waldo
Emerson: |
|
It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young
person, "Always do what you are afraid to do." |
|
|
Ralph Waldo
Emerson: |
|
Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee, and
do not try to make the universe a blind alley. |
|
|
Ralph Waldo
Emerson: |
|
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent
people and the affection of children … to leave
the world a better place … to know even one life
has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to
have succeeded. |
|
|
Ralph Waldo
Emerson: |
|
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no
time for worries. |
|
|
Ralph Waldo
Emerson: |
|
Good Manners are made up of petty sacrifices |
|
|
Ralph Waldo
Emerson: |
|
Ideas must work through the brains and arms of good
and brave men, or they are no better than dreams. |
|
|
Ralph Waldo
Emerson: |
|
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is
braver five minutes longer. |
|
|
Thomas Jefferson: |
|
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men
are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights; that among these are
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. |
|
|
Wayne Dyer: |
|
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When
I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself
and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous. |
|
|
Zig Zigler: |
|
You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. |

Martin Luther

The old law about "an eye for an eye" leaves
everybody blind. |
|

|
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to death
your right to say it. |
|
|
Cato the Elder
(234-149 BC, AKA Marcus Porcius Cato): |
|
After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have
no monument than why I have one. |
|
|
Mark Twain: |
|
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous,
he will not bite you; that is the principal difference
between a dog and a man. |
|
|
Henry Ford: |
|
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor kind
of business. |
|
|
Martin Luther
King Jr: |
|
If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should
sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven
played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep
streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth
will pause to say; here lived a great street sweeper who
did his job well. |
|
|
Tom Brokaw: |
|
It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher
to make a difference. |
|
|
Albert Einstein: |
|
A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually
on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious
belief is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way
if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope
of reward after death. |
|
|
Albert Einstein: |
|
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled
me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth.
To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed
to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be
sufficient only for a herd of cattle. |
|
|
Plato: |
|
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle. |
|
|
John Wesley: |
|
Do all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the places you can
At all times you can
To all the people you can
As long as ever you can |
