Never
have anything to do with an unlikely place, or an unlucky man. I have seen many
clever men, very clever men, who had not shoes on their feet. I never act with
them. Their advice sounds very well, but they cannot get on themselves, and if
they cannot do good to themselves, how can they do good to me?
(Mayer A. Rothschild)
It
is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but who knows how to use
with wisdom the blessings of God, to endure hard poverty, and who fears
dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or
fatherland.
(Horace)
What
this country needs is fewer people telling us what this country needs.
Most
of us would get along well if we used the advice we give others.
If
a man will begin with certainties, he shall
end in doubts but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in
certainties.
(Francis
Bacon)
Accept
what life offers you and try to drink
from every cup. All wines should be tasted, some should only be sipped, but
with others, drink the whole bottle.
(Paulo Coelho)
A
mathematical formula for happiness: reality divided by Expectations. There were
two ways to be happy: improve your reality or lower your expectation.
(Jodi Picoult)
The
only good thing to do with good advice is pass it on; it is never of any use to
oneself.
(Oscar Wilde)
Don’t
ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
(Robert Frost)
Always
and never are two words you should always remember and never to use.
(Wendell Johnson)
Adapt
what is useful and reject what is useless and add what is specifically your
own.
(Bruce Lee)
If
you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives, be kind
anyway. If you are successful, you will some false friends and true enemies,
succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest
and frank anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous, be
happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, do good
anyway. You see in the final analysis, it is between you and God, it was never
between you and them anyway.
(Mother Teresa)
