One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiWhen I started my last business, I didn’t receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can’t handle that pressure.
Robert KiyosakiMy show ‚The Big House‘ was picked up; they flew me to New York. I’m about to step on stage to announce Kevin Hart’s ‚The Big House.‘ And a hand grabs my shoulder, ‚Kevin no, they just decided to cancel it.‘ It’s a serious smack-in-the-face business, and either you can take it, or you can’t.
Kevin HartStrength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.
Napoleon HillThere are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.
Michelle ObamaIf you’d have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn’t know what you were talking about. And then, they’d be against it.
Billy GrahamIf a secret history of books could be written, and the author’s private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader!
William Makepeace ThackerayIt’s never happened in history that every region in the world could affect every other region simultaneously. The Roman empire and the Chinese empire didn’t know much about each other and had no means of interacting. Now we have every continent able to reach every other.
Henry KissingerI would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president – with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln – just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do. And we’re gonna keep on at it.
Barack ObamaIf one dream dies, dream another dream. If you get knocked down, get back up and go again.
Joel OsteenI just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
Martin Luther King, Jr.My message to all the activists is to just keep going, and I know it really may seem impossible and hopeless sometimes – it always does – so you just have to keep going because if you try hard enough and long enough you will make a difference.
Greta ThunbergWhat’s dangerous is not to evolve.
Jeff BezosNixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.
Hunter S. ThompsonOver the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamThe softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world.
Lao TzuWhen I was born in 1920, the auto was only 20 years old. Radio didn’t exist. TV didn’t exist. I was born at just the right time to write about all of these things.
Ray BradburyI got no quarrel with them Vietcong.
Muhammad AliAlthough personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Winston ChurchillWIth football you can have up to 28 guys you consider starters, and if they can pick up the slack when some aren’t playing so well, you don’t have to turn those two game losing streaks into six-game losing streaks.
Tom BradyI believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged – ‚There’s nothing good in my future‘ – I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there’s an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.
Joel OsteenYou may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.
Michelle ObamaThe civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI don’t have much positive to say about motor neuron disease, but it taught me not to pity myself because others were worse off, and to get on with what I still could do. I’m happier now than before I developed the condition.
Stephen HawkingIf you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.
Joseph AddisonMany badly needed goals, like fusion and cancer cure, would be achieved much sooner if we invested more.
Stephen HawkingIn the struggle between yourself and the world second the world.
Franz KafkaReturning to your family and where you came from, and your history… this is what makes you strong. It’s not looking out that’s going to do that – it’s looking in.
Lady GagaI’m here to spread a message of hope. Follow your heart. Don’t follow what you’ve been told you’re supposed to do.
J. ColeLife begins on the other side of despair.
Jean-Paul SartreI have always been an old-line Henry Clay Whig.
Abraham LincolnThe hippie movement politicized my generation. When it ended, we all started looking back at our own history, looking, in my case, for motives of rebellion.
Vivienne WestwoodThough I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed… Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.
Henry David ThoreauI’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.
Kobe BryantIn America today, we are nearer a final triumph over poverty than is any other land.
Herbert HooverIf I had a time machine, I’d visit Marilyn Monroe in her prime or drop in on Galileo as he turned his telescope to the heavens.
Stephen HawkingIn a universe that’s an intelligent system with a divine creative force supporting it, there simply can be no accidents. As tough as it is to acknowledge, you had to go through what you went through in order to get to where you are today, and the evidence is that you did.
Wayne DyerTalent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.I do know that throughout history, all paper money has eventually come back to its true value, which is zero.
Robert KiyosakiWe have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.
John F. KennedyHistory will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
Winston ChurchillYounger people have greatest fears. Why is that? Because they don’t know the plot. They don’t know their own individual plot… they don’t know what’s going to happen to them.
Margaret AtwoodIt’s not easy being young. It’s hard to know what to do.
Dolly PartonSurely the wake left behind by mankind’s forward march reveals its movement just as clearly as the spray thrown up elsewhere by the prow.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThere is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
Baruch SpinozaAmerica had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar WildeFeeling sorry for ourselves is the most useless waste of energy on the planet. It does absolutely no good. We can’t let our circumstances or what others do or don’t do control us. We can decide to be happy regardless.
Joyce MeyerRead no history: nothing but biography, for that is life without theory.
Benjamin DisraeliFor if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.
Albert CamusI worked out early on to give up things I couldn’t do well at all.
Christopher HitchensIf you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.
George Bernard ShawAmerica is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
Oscar WildeHistory shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.
Thomas CarlyleOn October 15, 1965, an estimated 70,000 people took part in large-scale anti-war demonstrations.
Noam ChomskyWe all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party.
Barack ObamaFinite to fail, but infinite to venture.
Emily DickinsonWith patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.
Barack ObamaBeing at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.
Eckhart TolleI’m a spokesman for myself. It just so happens that there’s a bunch of people that are concerned with what I have to say. I find that frightening at times because I’m just as confused as most people. I don’t have the answers for anything.
Kurt CobainAll I know is just what I read in the papers, and that’s an alibi for my ignorance.
Will Rogers
