Quotes....
First off....some very good ones you all are throwing up here. I keep a list of quotes in a
text file and have added alot today.
THANKS !! My personal favorite book of quotes right now is "Striking Thoughts" by Bruce Lee. I highly recommend it to everyone.
And some other favorites of mine...excluding Shakespeares "doubts are traitors..." I see it's been mentioned.
"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;......" (Henry V, III:1) -William Shakespeare
"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." (Twelfth Night, II:5) -William Shakespeare
"Whoever originated the cliche that money is the root of all evil knew hardly anything about the nature of evil and very little about human beings" - Eric Hoffer
"A 'No' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble." - Mahatma Gandhi
"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it."-Voltaire
"People with Fires in Their Bellies Tend to Make Their Own Luck."-Lee Iacocca
"Today is yesterday's Tomorrow" -unknown
"Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you." -William Arthur Ward
"It is not the critic who counts,
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause;
who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
"Never give in -- never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." - Winston Churchill
" The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion
is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt
in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. "-Albert Einstein
"Knowing is half the battle..." _from G.I.Joe
"Just Do It!"
