When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound. Rebuild those plans and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
Napoleon Hill
How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
George Washington Carver
The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
From contentment with little comes happiness.
African Proverb
All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.
Edwin Markham
The surest sign of spiritual progress is a total lack of concern about progress. There is an utter absence of anxiety about anything like liberation and a sort of hollowness in one's being, a kind of looseness and involuntary surrender to whatever might happen.
Ramesh Balsekar
The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear.
William Jennings Bryan
My atheism, like that of Spinoza, is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image to be servants of their human interests.
George Santayana
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharial Nehru
