What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him. |
|
When a man finds no peace within himself, it is useless to seek it elsewhere. |
|
If you don't learn from your mistakes, there's no sense making them. |
|
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. |
|
He who wants a rose must respect the thorn |
|
If the problem has a solution, worrying is pointless, in the end the problem will be solved. If the problem has no solution, there is no reason to worry, because it can’t be solved. |
|
Your thoughts are the architects of your destiny. |
|
The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul. |
|
Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out. |
|
It's not enough to have knowledge if you don't use it well |
|
Growth is the only evedince of life |
|
If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. |
|
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. |
*It Couldn't Be Done
By Edgar A. Guest
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.
*Don't Quit
Unknown
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.
