I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now.

He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war.

William Tecumseh Sherman

You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.

Denis Waitley

Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful molder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage?

Emma Goldman

The idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.

Marsha Sinetar

Everybody has to put purees underneath everything now. It's like people think we need the steak, and then we need some baby food with it.

Wolfgang Puck

There is nothing more wonderful than freedom of speech.

Ilya G. Ehrenburg

Francis Bacon

The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.

SunTzu

A lifetime of happiness? No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.

George Bernard Shaw

Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him.

James Allen

There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right.

Bill Cosby
