I confess that altruistic and cynically selfish talk seem to me about equally unreal. With all humility, I think whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might, infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbor; you must be living with your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing.

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.

Jack Welch

Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.

Henry Bolingbroke

Three billion people on the face of the earth go to bed hungry every night, but four billion people go to bed every night hungry for a simple word of encouragement and recognition.

Cavett Robert

The American empire is hovering between life and death.

Mohsen Rezaee

Ever since I was four years old, I loved making people smile, making them think, making them feel good, feel some kind of emotion.

Ann-Margret

Try as you may, you don't get down as you would from a horse, you get down as you would from a house afire. You make a spectacle of yourself every time.

Mark Twain

The jargon of these sculptors is beyond me. I do not know precisely why I admire a green granite female, apparently pregnant monster with one eye going around a square corner.

Ezra Pound

If no pain, then no love. If no darkness, no light. If no risk, then no reward. It's all or nothing. In this damn world, it's all or nothing.

Glennon Doyle Melton

There's a difference between knowing what's on the page in a history book and actually feeling that page have curves and valleys.

Garth Brooks

We can only find those faults in others that already exist within us, and the same goes for those things we admire about them.

Stephen Richards

In properly organized groups no faith is required what is required is simply a little trust and even that only for a little while, for the sooner a man begins to verify all he hears the better it is for him.

G. I. Gurdjieff

If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.

Johann von Goethe
