Achievement
Great
things are not done by impulse,
but by a series of small things
brought together.
Vincent
Van Gogh
Action
Take
the first step in faith.
You don't have to see the
whole staircase,
just take the first step.
Martin
Luther King
Anger
Consider
how much more you often suffer
from your anger and grief,
than from those very things
for which you are angry and
grieved.
Marcus
Antonius
Appearance
You
and I do not see things as
they are.
We see things as we are.
Herb
Cohen
Commitment
Unless
commitment is made,
there are only promises and
hopes;
but no plans.
Peter
F. Drucker
Giving
It
is one of the most beautiful
compensations of this life
that no man can sincerely
try to help another without
helping himself.
Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Growth
If
we don't change, we don't
grow.
If we don't grow we are not
really living.
Growth demands a temporary
surrender of security.
It may mean a giving up of
familiar but limiting patterns,
safe but unrewarding work,
values no longer believed
in relationships that have
lost their meaning.
As Dostoevsky put it, "Taking
a new step, uttering a new
word, is what people fear
most".
The real fear should be of
the opposite course.
Gail
Sheehy
Honesty
Do
not do what you would undo
if caught.
Leah
Arendt
Hopes
Our
hopes are but memories reversed.
Unknown
Inertia
All
that is necessary to break
the spell of inertia and frustration
is this:
Act as if it were impossible
to fail.
That is the talisman, the
formula, the command of right-about-face
which turns us from failure
towards success.
Dorothea
Brande
Integrity
Basically,
the word means wholeness.
In mathematics, an integer
is a number that isn't divided
into fractions.
Just so, a man of integrity
is not divided against himself.
He does not think one thing
and say another.
Robert
Bolton
Obstacles
Each
handicap is like a hurdle
in a steeplechase,
and when you ride up to it,
if you throw your heart over,
the horse will go along too.
Lawrence
Bixby
Mistakes
If
I had my life to live again.
I'd make the same mistakes,
only sooner.
Tallulah
Bankhead
Originality
It's
been very important throughout
my career
that I've met all the guys
I've copied,
because at each stage they've
said,
"Don't play like me,
play like you."
Eric
Clapton
