Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness; but He who gave thee Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise; be wise and thou art happy.
Akhenaton
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
Eleanor Roosevelt
For me, no ideological or political conviction would justify the sacrifice of a human life. For me, the value of life is absolute, with no concessions. It's not negotiable.
Edgar Ramirez
There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation - veneer isn't worth anything.
George Washington Carver
In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.
Anthony J. D'Angelo
When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
Mark Twain
The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.
Theodore Roosevelt
To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart.
Thomas J. Watson
Laughter, and the broader category of humor, are key elements in helping us go on with our life after a loss.
Allen Klein
I hope that there's a difference between being childish and childlike and that I'm the latter, if you take my meaning. I often sort of wonder. I don't think I'm a terribly good grown-up; I don't take responsibility easily or well in many areas of life. Finance and stuff like that, I'm absolutely appalling.
Graeme Base
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Winston Churchill
