The weak have one weapon: the errors of those who think they are strong. ~Georges Bidault
#quotes #georges-bidault #weakness #strength

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~William Arthur Ward

Burning in effigy. Kissing the picture of one's beloved, it aims at nothing at all; we just behave this way and then we feel satisfied. ~Ludwig Wittgenstein
#quotes #ludwig-wittgenstein

Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of miles apart. In the end, maybe love just meant longing for something impossibly bright and forever out of reach. ~Leigh Bardugo

Bambi, to a kid, was scary. ~Billy Crystal

Good people have always been at the heart of the Virgin business, and that is largely because we have tried to keep our business small, and our management teams tight-knit. I feel that small, compact companies, are better run. That is partly because people feel more connected in small companies. ~Richard Branson

If you are a really good marathoner, you have to run New York. ~Haile Gebrselassie

#quotes #jane-fonda #sports #running #women

This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there is a layer of people who run everything. But we, we are just peasants. We do not understand what is going on, and we cannot do anything. ~Doris Lessing

Even if a minefield or the abyss should lie before me, I will march straight ahead without looking back. ~Zhu Rongji

The trouble in modern democracy is that men do not approach to leadership until they have lost the desire to lead anyone. ~William Beveridge
