No matter how hard you work for success if your thought is saturated with the fear of failure, it will kill your efforts, neutralize your endeavors and make success impossible.

We reproach people for talking about themselves; but it is the subject they treat best.

Anatole France

I'd had people say, 'You'll enjoy being famous for a week, and you'll never enjoy it again'. But I don't think I had that week. I may have been working and missed that moment.

Matt Damon

Beset by a difficult problem? Now is your chance to shine. Pick yourself up, get to work and get triumphantly through it.

Ralph Marston

How many attractions for us have our passing fellows in the streets, both male and female, which our ethics forbid us to express, which yet infuse so much pleasure into life. A lovely child, a handsome youth, a beautiful girl, a heroic man, a maternal woman, a venerable old man, charm us, though strangers, and we cannot say so, or look at them but for a moment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journal, No

At sea, I feel comfortable and I come to rest.

Laura Dekker

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Aristotle

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is also true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy

The attempt and not the deed confounds us.

William Shakespeare

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.

Doug Larson

Is love an art? Then it requires knowledge and effort.

Erich Fromm

The pow'r I have on you is to spare you / The malice towards you, to forgive you. Posthumus

William Shakespeare
