Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it.

Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible.

Jimmy Connors

Sometimes failure isn't an opportunity in disguise, it's just you.

Doug Coupland

Yet 'Reality' is just whatever illusion we believe in

Fola

Man approaches the unattainable truth through a succession of errors.

Aldous Huxley

The best we can do is size up the chances, calculate the risks involved, estimate our ability to deal with them, and then make our plans with confidence.

Henry Ford

Anybody who really knows about the TV business knows that it would be impossible to just march in one day and say to your colleagues and bosses, 'Oh yes, I'm hosting my own show.'

Andy Cohen

The need to express oneself in writing springs from a mal-adjustment to life, or from an inner conflict which the adolescent (or the grown man) cannot resolve in action. Those to whom action comes as easily as breathing rarely feel the need to break loose from the real, to rise above, and describe it... I do not mean that it is enough to be maladjusted to become a great writer, but writing is, for some, a method of resolving a conflict, provided they have the necessary talent.

Andre Maurois

The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.

Adolf Loos

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.

Henry David Thoreau

What's your dream and to what corner of the missions world will it take you?

Eleanor Roat

The loves and sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plentitude.

Oscar Wilde

Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.

George Bernard Shaw
