A Few Favorite Quotes


"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
     -Theodore Roosevelt


"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
     -Mahathma Ghandi


"Do not pray for an easy life; pray for the strength to endure a difficult one."
     -Bruce Lee


"Don’t loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don’t get it you will none the less get something that looks remarkably like it."
"The three great things are: GOOD HEALTH; WORK; and a PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE. I may add, nay, must add, a fourth—SINCERITY. Without this, the other three are without avail; with it you may cleave to greatness and sit among the giants."
     -Jack London


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
     -Marianne Williamson 


"At one point in your life, you'll either have the thing you want or the reason why you don't."
     -Andy Roddick


"There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers on our progress except those we ourselves erect."
     -Ronald Reagan


"All our words from loose using have lost their edge."
     -Ernest Hemingway


"The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly brave."
     -James A. LaFond-Lewis
