The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.
It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
Charles Darwin, (attributedunsou
In societies where mature workers are respected and where their wisdom is respected, everybody benefits. Workers are more engaged and productive. Their health is better. They live longer.
Deepak Chopra
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I am not the least afraid to die.
Charles Darwin
Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs
We've entered an era when very good, competent people aren't getting jobs. One remedy is to stand out, to self-promote. If you do, you're going to get the nod over some co-worker.
Jeff Davidson
Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.
Denis Waitley
The eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.
Robertson Davies
Few people can see genius in someone who has offended them.
Your modern teenager is not about to listen to advice from an old person, defined as a person who remembers when there was no Velcro.
Dave Barry
Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.
When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.
Peter Drucker
He types his labored column -- weary drudge! Senile fudge and solemn: spare, editor, to condemn these dry leaves of his autumn.
If I was writing songs just for me I'd only play them in my living room, alone.
Tori Amos
If we seek the pleasures of love, passion should be occasional, and common sense continual.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Franklin P. Jones
What we call luck is the inner man externalized. We make things happen to us.
There's a connection between the advances that are made in technology and the sense of primitive fear people develop in response to it.
Don DeLillo
Comparatively few people know what a million dollars actually is. To the majority it is a gaseous concept, swelling or decreasing as the occasion suggests. In the minds of politicians, perhaps more than anywhere, the notion of a million dollars has this accordion-like ability to expand or contract; if they are disposing of it, the million is a pleasing sum, reflecting warmly upon themselves; if somebody else wants it, it becomes a figure of inordinate size, not to be compassed by the rational mind.
You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win.
Ho Chi Minh
A Librettist is a mere drudge in the world of opera.
Our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa.
Marcus Garvey
Pornography is rather like trying to find out about a Beethoven symphony by having somebody tell you about it and perhaps hum a few bars.
I'm like, 'Would you be the person in the room that would boo when Dylan went electric? I know I wouldn't. Or are you the person that left The Beatles after 'She Loves You,' or 'Drive My Car?' You weren't on board for 'Revolution 9' or 'Day In The Life,' were you?'
Regina Spektor
Too much traffic with a quotation book begets a conviction of ignorance in a sensitive reader. Not only is there a mass of quotable stuff he never quotes, but an even vaster realm of which he has never heard.
The wisdom of the wise is an uncommon degree of common sense.
Dean Inge
A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
History, sociology, economics, psychology et al. confirmed Joyce's view of Everyman as victim.
Robert Anton Wilson
Right now, I'm as single as a slice of American cheese.
Nick Cannon
If I had my way books would not be written in English, but in an exceedingly difficult secret language that only skilled professional readers and story-tellers could interpret. Then people like you would have to go to public halls and pay good prices to hear the professionals decode and read the books aloud for you. This plan would have the advantage of scaring off all amateur authors, retired politicians, country doctors and I-Married-a-Midget writers who would not have the patience to learn the secret language.
The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.
Woodrow Wilson
No attribute of God is more dreadful to sinners than His holiness.
Matthew Henry
You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery.
Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Plato
What we have is North Korea still pursuing path to a nuclear weapon state. So the majority of people's trust in North Korea has gone down considerably.
Lee Myung-bak
Nothing is so easy to fake as the inner vision.
There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
Benjamin Disraeli
I think I've been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say, 'Hey, this is who I am.'
Ryan Adams
Many a promising career has been wrecked by marrying the wrong sort of woman. The right sort of woman can distinguish between Creative Lassitude and plain shiftlessness.
To the person with a firm purpose all men and things are servants.
