"When someone does something well, applaud! You will make two people happy." -- Samuel Goldwyn
"Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles." -- Og Mandino, 1923-1996, Speaker and Author "I believe that we are solely responsible for our
choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and
thought throughout our lifetime."
"Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier." -- Mother Theresa
"Kind words and good deeds are eternal. You never know where their influence will end." -- H. Jackson Browne
"My own experience and development deepen everyday my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy." -- T. S. Eliot
"I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore there can be any kindness I can show or any good thing I can do for any fellow being let me do it now...as I shall not pass this way again." -- William Penn
"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." -- Mahatma Gandhi, 1869-1948, Indian Political Leader
I have all of employees to come in early each morning while he was alive, point at their temples and recite, "My imagination creates my reality." -- Walt Disney
"Imagination is more important than knowledge" -- Albert Einstein
The difference between the right word and the almost right
word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
"Age is only a number, a cipher for the records. A man
can't retire his experience. He must use it. Experience achieves more with
less energy and time."
"Make a list of 200 prestigious, influential, and powerful people with whom you want to work, play, grow and do business." -- Mark Victor Hansen "It's not who you know. It's how well you maintain your Rolodex(R)." -- Patricia Fripp
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." -- Count Leo Tolstoy
"Your business and results are a reflection of you.
Your business and results will grow in direct proportion to your own
growth."
"Invest the first hour of the day, the 'Golden Hour,' in yourself." -- Brian Tracy
"What you become directly influences what you
get."
"Keep in mind that you are always saying 'no' to
something. If it isn't to the apparent, urgent things in your life, it is
probably to the most fundamental, highly important things. Even when the
urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your
unique contribution, if you let it."
"Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot
of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things."
"To put the world in order, we must first put the
nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order;
to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to
cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right."
"Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end
of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this
hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the
fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more
interesting because of them."
