I admit that, my wife is outspoken, but by whom? ~Sam Levenson
#quotes #sam-levenson #wife

Procrastination is the thief of time; year after year it steals, till all are fled, and to the mercies of a moment leaves the vast concerns of an eternal state. At thirty, man suspects himself a fool; knows it at forty, and reforms his plan; at fifty chides his infamous delay, pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; in all the magnanimity of thought, resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same. ~Edward Young

Was awakened in the night to a strain of music dying away, passing travellers singing. My being was so expanded and infinitely and divinely related for a brief season that I saw how unexhausted, how almost wholly unimproved, was man's capacity for a divine life. When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

Your energy and enjoyment, drive and dedication will stimulate and greatly inspire others. ~John Wooden
#quotes #john-wooden #inspiration

I had got this far, and was thinking of what to say next, and as my habit is, I was pricking the paper idly with my pen. And I thought how, between one dip of the pen and the next, time goes on, and I hurry, drive myself, and speed toward death. We are always dying. I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch

But in fact, the two have a lot in common, and the creative spirit is similar in both. ~Vilayanur S. Ramachandran

There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys, there's only you and me, and we just disagree. ~Dave Mason

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. ~Norman Vincent Peale

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds. ~Annie Leibovitz
