William Shakespeare

In the wide waste there still is a tree,
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit of thee.

Srully D. Blotnick


The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found profoundly absorbing. The long term study of people who eventually became wealthy clearly reveals that their 'luck' arose from accidental dedication they had to an arena they enjoyed.

American


Experience without learning is better than learning without experience.

Socrates


I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.

Strugatsky


When I feel bad, I work. When I have problems, when I'm depressed, when I'm bored with life, I sit down to my work. There are probably other prescriptions, but I don't know them. Or they don't work for me. You want my advice -- here it is Go and work. Thank God that people like you and me need only paper and pencil to work.

L. Ron Hubbard, Book: Dianetics 55

Today's Famous Quotes:



Ralph Waldo Emerson


All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

Benjamin Franklin


Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith."

Author Unknown


Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquest of it.

Bruce Cockburn


Everybody loves to see justice done on somebody else.

Bible, Psalm 27:1 NLT


The Lord is my light and my salvation - so why should I be afraid.

James Allen

Edward Albee

Pierre Charron


The advice of friends must be received with a judicious reserve we must not give ourselves up to it and follow it blindly, whether right or wrong.
