A business of high principle generates greater drive and effectiveness because people know that they can do the right thing decisively and with confidence.
The fact is, the difference between peak performers and everybody else are much smaller than everybody else thinks.
Charles A. Garfield
Peak performers develop powerful mental images of the behavior that will lead to the desired results. They see in their mind's eye the result they want, and the actions leading to it.
Can you have more than one major MISSION pervading your life? NO. That would be like coming to a fork in the road and trying to go both ways by straddling it.
Values provide perspective in the best of times and worst.
A mission could be defined as an image of a desired state that you want to get to. Once fully seen, it will inspire you to act, fuel your imagination and determine your behavior.
Peak performers see the ability to manage change as a necessity in fulfilling their missions.
It takes no genius to observe that a one man band never gets very big.
I've discovered that numerous peak performers use the skill of mental rehearsal of visualization. They mentally run through important events before they happen.
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Giuseppe Garibaldi
If the aborigine drafted an IQ test, all of Western civilization would presumably flunk it.
Stanley Garn
I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half-empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth.
Janeane Garofalo
Cards were at first for benefits designed, sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind.
David Garrick
The hardest habit of all to break is the terrible habit of happiness.
Theodosia Garrison
Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use moderation in a case like the present.
William Lloyd Garrison
We may be personally defeated, but our principles never.
I am in earnest -- I will not equivocate -- I will not excuse --I will not retreat a single inch --and I will be heard!
My country is the world; my countrymen are mankind.
I know I have the ability to do so much more than just stand in front of the camera the rest of my life.
Jennie Garth
Some fell by laudanum, and some by steel, and death in ambush lay in every pill.
Sir Samuel Garth
A bad forgery's the ultimate insult.
Jonathan Gash
People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.
Elizabeth Gaskell
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Nature has placed mankind under the government of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure... they govern us in all we do, in all we say, in all we think: every effort we can make to throw off our subjection, will serve but to demonstrate and confirm it.
John Bentham
Between what matters and what seems to matter, how should the world we know judge wisely?
E. C. Bentley
What is high finance? It?s knowing the difference between one and ten, multiplying, subtracting and adding. You just add noughts. It?s no more than that.
John Bentley
He followed in his father's footsteps, but his gait was somewhat erratic.
Nicolas Bentley
Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.
Timothy Bentley
Guts are a combination of confidence, courage, conviction, strength of character, stick-to-itiveness, pugnaciousness, backbone, and intestinal fortitude. They are mandatory for anyone who wants to get to and stay at the top.
D A Benton
If we were to ask the brain how it would like to be treated, whether shaken at a random, irregular rate, or in a rhythmic, harmonious fashion, we can be sure that the brain, or for that matter the whole body, would prefer the latter.
Itzhak Bentov
In sex we have the source of man's true connection with the cosmos and of his servile dependence. The categories of sex, male and female, are cosmic categories, not merely anthropological categories.
Nicolai A. Berdyaev
We find the most terrible form of atheism, not in the militant and passionate struggle against the idea of God himself, but in the practical atheism of everyday living, in indifference and torpor. We often encounter these forms of atheism among those who are formally Christians.
Life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and even hated, but for our qualities.
Bernard Berenson
Miracles happen to those who believe in them. Otherwise why does not the Virgin Mary appear to Lamaists, Mohammedans, or Hindus who have never heard of her?
Government lasts as long as the under-taxed can defend themselves against the over-taxed.
Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.
I wish I could stand on a busy street corner, hat in hand, and beg people to throw me all their wasted hours.
Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago.
I may not be a great actress but I've become the greatest at screen orgasms. Ten seconds of heavy breathing, roll your head from side to side, simulate a slight asthma attack and die a little.
Candice Bergen
In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence.
P. L. Berger
What I actually want to call you is a hell of a lot more unprintable than your name
