One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king. ~Abraham Maslow

Oblivion is the rule and fame the exception, of humanity. ~Antoine Rivarol
#quotes #antoine-rivarol #humanity #oblivion #fame

All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility. ~Patricia Briggs

If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs, follow that wise man; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him. ~Gautama Buddha
#quotes #gautama-buddha #buddhist #wisdom

Nothing is more certain of destroying any good feeling that may be cherished towards us than to show distrust. To be suspected as an enemy is often enough to make a man become so; the whole matter is over, there is no farther use of guarding against it. On the contrary, confidence leads us naturally to act kindly, we are affected by the good opinion which others entertain of us, and we are not easily induced to lose it. ~Marie de Rabutin Chantal

I was no Marie Antoinette. I was not born to nobility, but I had a human right to nobility. ~Imelda Marcos

And they need not cause you grief. As my Highland grandmother said, and she had the Sight-Tis not the dead ye have to be concerned about! Beware of the Living! And she was a wise woman. The dead are beyond your help or mine, poor things. But the living need us. Thirty souls at the least, Phryne, are still on that island to praise God who might now be angels-or devils. ~Kerry Greenwood

That is what I try to do each and every week is give my best effort and not give up, no matter what comes at us. ~Kurt Busch

I have a terrific marriage, but unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow, no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's kind of the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling. ~Hugh Jackman

I'm a person that just likes to speak the truth, and I don't understand why in America, it's such a big deal that we won't read the Koran and we won't look at history. ~Pat Robertson
#quotes #pat-robertson #religion #history

Truly, there are terrible primal arcana of earth which had better be left unknown and unevoked; dread secrets which have nothing to do with man, and which man may learn only in exchange for peace and sanity; cryptic truths which make the knower evermore an alien among his kind, and cause him to walk alone on earth. ~H. P. Lovecraft

A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom. ~Welsh Proverb

I am "too fiery," yet I wish to be seen as I am and I would lose all rather than soften away anything. ~Margaret Fuller

"Why do you give me cars?" "It's fun," Ranger said. "And it keeps you safe. Do you want to know why keeping you safe is important to me?" "You love me?" "Yes." A sigh inadvertently escaped. "We're really screwed up, aren't we?" "In a very large way," Ranger said. ~Janet Evanovich

Hollywood has definitely grown, in embracing the inclusion of Latinos in the world, because, for some time, we didn't exist. We were not part of any stories. ~Salma Hayek

Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found
Like David's harp of solemn sound. ~Isaac Watts

I have always been really scared of scary movies just because I live by myself; and then seeing something, then having a big imagination and then like thinking you see it in the middle of the night. So I've never been really into them. ~Ashley Tisdale
