No manager ever won no ballgames.
O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands.
SunTzu
The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
Therefore the skilful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.
Seek not good from without: seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.
Bertha von Suttner
The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.
Ben Sweetland
Happiness is a journey not a destination.
Wonder if there is life on another planet? Let's suppose there is. Suppose further, that only one star in a trillion has a planet that could support life. If that were the case, then there would be at least 100 million planets that harbored life.
One must be a somebody before they can have a enemy. One must be a force before he can be resisted by another force.
Madame Swetchine
We expect everything and are prepared for nothing.
The ideal friendship is to feel as one while remaining two.
We are rich only through what we give; and poor only through we refuse and keep.
How easy to be amiable in the midst of happiness and success.
There are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time.
The best advice on the art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is sick.
Repentance is accepted remorse.
Strength alone knows conflict, weakness is born vanquished.
In this world of change naught which comes stays and naught which goes is lost.
Our vanity is the constant enemy of our dignity.
Youth should be a savings bank.
We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly.
It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by providence as an evil to mankind.
Jonathan Swift
We are so fond on one another because our ailments are the same.
The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and Doctor Merryman.
She wears her clothes as if they were thrown on with a pitch folk.
And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.
One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good.
Pretense is the overrating of any kind of knowledge we pretend to.
The deeper the sorrow the less the tongue has it.
The Talmud
The burden is equal to the horse's strength.
Who is a wise man? He who learns of all men.
Who is wise? One who learns from all.
The end result of wisdom is... good deeds.
No labor, however humble, is dishonoring.
There is no index so sure as the voice.
Tancred
During a very busy life I have often been asked, How did you manage to do it all? The answer is very simple. It is because I did everything promptly.

Now is the season for sailing; for already the chattering swallow is come and the pleasant west wind; the meadows bloom and the sea, tossed up with waves and rough blasts, has sunk to silence. Weigh thine anchors and unloose thy hawsers, O Mariner, and sail with all thy canvas set.
Leonidas of Tarentum
None of us really pushes hard enough.
Fran Tarkenton
Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success.
