Michael Porter

The secret of success is constancy of purpose.

Benjamin Disraeli

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The truth is that all examples of child protection and parental care, and all associated bodily organs... are examples of the working in nature of the kin-selection principle.

Richard Dawkins

We must use time as a tool, not as a couch.

John F. Kennedy

What would beauty be if the whole world were blind?

Marty Rubin

Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

Denis Waitley

The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true -- action precedes motivation. You have to prime the pump and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.

Robert J. Mckain

Charles Dickens
