Quotations Update

Here are the Quotations ...

Sister Evangelist

Arthur C. Clarke, 1983


At the present rate of progress, it is almost impossible to imagine any technical feat that cannot be achieved - if it can be achieved at all - within the next few hundred years.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch of a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.

Thich Nhat Hanh


Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

Robert Frost


Why abandon a belief merely because it ceases to be true Cling to it long enough, and it will turn true again, for so it goes. Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

Woody Allen


If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.

Johnson


Where there is no hope, there can be no endeavor.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
