I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one. I know quite well that most people would agree with you, Torvald, and that you have warrant for it in books; but I can't be satisfied any longer with what most people say, and with what's in books. I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen

When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you. They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete.
#quotes #dan-o-brien #sports #work #personality

The natural mind is ever prone to reason, when we ought to believe; to be at work, when we ought to be quiet; to go our own way, when we ought steadily to walk on in God's ways, however trying to nature. ~George Muller
#quotes #george-muller #nature #god

The healing of ourselves as healers has to take place first. Bringing ourselves to wholeness, we become more sensitive to other people. In the change of consciousness that happens within us, we bring about change of consciousness in those around us and in the planet itself. ~Marion Woodman

I have my own voice and can focus only on that. I know what I like; I find my inspirations in so many other places than just online and bring that into my work. ~Hanneli Mustaparta

"Why aren't you dead?" Will demanded. ~Cinda Williams Chima
#quotes #cinda-williams-chima

If somebody from the past doesn't rise up from the grave and start talking to me, I haven't got a book. I have to hear that voice, the voice of the narrator. How she sounds will tell me who she is, and who she is will tell me how she will act - and that starts the plot in motion. ~Geraldine Brooks

When you open the door which you shut in order to pray to God, the first person you meet as you go out is your neighbour whom you shall love. Wonderful! ~Soren Kierkegaard

The road to a friend's house is never long. ~Danish Proverb

The unexpected stalks a farm in big boots like a vagrant bent on havoc. Not every farmer is an inventor, but the good ones have the seeds of invention within them. Economy and efficiency move their relentless tinkering and yet the real motive often seems to be aesthetic. The mind that first designed a cutter bar is not far different from a mind that can take the intractable steel of an outsized sickle blade and make it hum in the end. The question is how to reduce the simplicity that constitutes a problem to the greater simplicity that constitutes a solution. ~Verlyn Klinkenborg

People ask me to smile for the camera, but somehow it always comes out gloomy. ~Stephen Rea

The halls were empty. Charlotte had missed the first bell and would be late, again. Her homeroom teacher would ask her for an excuse and she would say, "Overwhelming feeling of dread." That was going to go over nicely. ~Anne Ursu

We can't afford as a nation; not because of money but because of our social fabric; to have large numbers of people who are not working. ~Donna Shalala

She really mellowed me out that way. We both definitely grew with each other and with the whole experience. ~Brian Austin Green

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
#quotes #margaret-fuller #heart #wish

You think you are prepared. You think you have done everything you're supposed to, study hard, work hard, keep yourself out of trouble, and then, whoosh! Something arrives out of the blue that you never saw coming. Something you never even imagined. Something that will knock your little world off its axis. Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael
