If you're "stuck" right now, you're probably into fear. Get out of there. You've already looked both ways. Now cross the street, for heaven sake. The cars have long since gone. The coast is clear. Your only obstacle now is your own mind. ~Neale Donald Walsch
#quotes #neale-donald-walsch #mind

When I was 50 years old, I actually decided to draw up a list of half a dozen things that I really hadn't done very well, and I was going to make efforts to improve. One of them was skiing, and I really did become a very much better skier. ~Edmund Hillary
#quotes #edmund-hillary #skiing

I love to work, so give me what you have got. I will play a tree, if you want me to. If you want fruit on it, then pay me more money. Otherwise, I just love to work. ~Danny Trejo
#quotes #danny-trejo #work

From early childhood, I was interested in understanding how the world worked, and assumed I would be some kind of physical scientist or chemist. But the truth was, I didn't know there was another kind of world, the inner world, that was just as interesting, if not more relevant, than what was going on in the outside world. ~Stephen LaBerge

Let us help build the kingdom of God by standing up boldly and being defenders of marriage, parenthood, and the home. ~Bonnie L. Oscarson

In many ways, theatre is more rewarding for a writer. I used to think it was like painting a wall - that when the play is finished, it's done; but now I realise it's more like gardening; you plant the thing, then you have to constantly tend it. You're part of a thing that's living. ~Lee Hall

The pressure to entertain, to sell ourselves, and never to be visibly anxious keeps ratcheting up. ~Susan Cain

Now you're selling out, the devil sold a dream and you bought it without thinking about. How the beast will decrease the brain wave, with material thoughts from the crib to the grave. ~Kool Moe Dee

America gains most when individuals have great freedom to pursue personal goals without undue government interference. ~Sylvia Earle

I look at couples in the street who are in their sixties and have been together for 40 years, and they're my idols. That's Ice and me for sure. ~Coco Austin

It's hard to maintain both smack and crack habits and remember to keep up mobile-phone payments. ~Irvine Welsh

Making a company fit to sell may be the only way to ensure you never need a buyer. ~Margaret Heffernan
#quotes #margaret-heffernan #business

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

In teaching others we teach ourselves. ~English Proverb

A handful of patience is worth a bushel of brains. ~Hobart Brown

No naturalist has devoted more painstaking attention to the structure of the barnacles than Mr. Darwin. ~Richard Owen
#quotes #richard-owen #nature #charles-darwin

Authors are far closer to the truths enfolded in mystery than ordinary people, because of that very audacity of imagination which irritates their plodding critics. As only those who dare to make mistakes succeed greatly, only those who shake free the wings of their imagination brush, once in a way, the secrets of the great pale world. If such writers go wrong, it is not for the mere brains to tell them so ~Gertrude Atherton

Love's in need of love today, don't delay; send yours in right away. ~Stevie Wonder

The best men in all ages keep classic traditions alive. ~George Santayana
#quotes #george-santayana #traditions

As I've written before, China's ability to be the assembly line to the world wasn't where its role in the global economy ended; it was where it began. An ability to make products cheaper than anywhere else gave way to an ability to make high end products more nimbly than anywhere else. ~Sarah Lacy
#quotes #sarah-lacy #economy #china

How much money you get, depends on lots of extraneous things. It depends on how good you are at turning poetry into a marketable product, which is something it was never supposed to be. That's why many people suppose that the better the poet you are the lower your income should be, and that's probably true. ~Robert Bringhurst

Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them. ~Benjamin Franklin
