this is just a collection of quotes that keep me going,
some may be funny
some just make you go huh
and some i dearly believe in......enjoy
DETERMINATION:
Vince Lombardi
"A man can be as great as he wants to be.
If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination,
the dedication, the competitive drive and
if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life
and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."
MISTAKES:
-unknown-
"If you have made mistakes, even serious ones,
there is always another chance for you.
What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down."
OPINIONS:
Frank Gelett Burgess
" If in the last few years you haven't discarded a major opinion
or acquired a new one, check your pulse, you may be dead."
STRENGTH:
H. Jackson Browne
"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock,
the stream always wins--not through strength but by perseverance."
POWER:
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn
"You only have power over people so long as you don't take
everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything
he's no longer in your power -- he's free again."
PROCRASTINATION:
Christopher Parker
" Procrastination is like a credit card it's a lot of fun
until you get the bill."
REALITY:
Kahlil Gibran
"The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you
but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore,
if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but
rather to what he does not say."
John W. Gardner
"Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the
nonpharmaceutical narcotics it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure
and separates the victim from reality."
SELF RESPECT:
Joan Didion
"Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life
- is the source from which self respect springs."
REVENGE:
Danish proverb
"No revenge is more honourable than the one not taken."
-unknown-
"To refrain from imitation is the best revenge."
RESPECT:
Ren G. Torres
"He who does not have the courage to speak up for his rights
cannot earn the respect of others."
SINCERITY:
-unknown-
"A friend should be one in whose understanding
and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can
value at once for its justness and its sincerity"
SOUL:
Frederick Douglas
"The soul that is within me no man can degrade."
STRENGTH:
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
"Strength does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from an indomitable will."
-unknown-
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being
overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often,
and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for
the privilege of owning yourself."
STUBBORNESS:
Maya Angelou
"...there is a difference between being convinced and being stubborn.
I'm not certain what the difference is, but I do know that if
you butt your head against a stone wall long enough, at some point
you realize the wall is stone and that your head is flesh"
STUPIDITY:
Frank Leahy
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity."
TRUST:
Jewish Proverb
"Never trust the man who tells you all his troubles
but keeps from you all his joys."
NO CATEGORY:
William Wirt
"Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject
to solve your doubts for if you let it pass,
the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance."
VIOLENCE:
Mahatma Gandhi
"Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat,
for it is momentary."
-unknown-
"Violence is the diplomacy of the incompetent."
WISDOM:
Bertrand Russell
"To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom."
"Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.
To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal,
and are all the greater fools for it.
There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool.
But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom."
IF YOU HAVE MADE IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS SMALL LIST..CONGRATULATIONS, POSSIBLY YOU HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING OF YOURSELF.
