He that will enjoy the brightness of sunshine, must quit the coolness of the shade.
Samuel JohnsonA little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Khalil GibranI am results-oriented.
Bill GatesThe scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter – for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.
Nikola TeslaI’ve spent too much time giving speeches, traveling the world.
Billy GrahamStay hungry, stay foolish.
Steve JobsWe must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I never had to choose a subject – my subject rather chose me.
Ernest HemingwayI want to make something that is breathtaking. Of course, you can’t make something that is always breathtaking, or you would never be able to breathe. You would collapse.
Brian EnoAll the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.
Napoleon HillMy strong point, if I have a strong point, is performance. I always do more than I say. I always produce more than I promise.
Richard M. NixonIn every walk of life, you must have leaders. An education in the spiritual world, in the labor field, in the agricultural field, we must have leaders.
Narendra ModiThe task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.
C. S. LewisYou are never too young to learn, never too old to change.
Russell M. NelsonLife’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith.

William ShakespeareI just enjoy it, I am living a life that I never even dreamt of.
Sunil ChhetriThe chief glory of every people arises from its authors.
Samuel JohnsonAutobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life.
Eleanor RooseveltIdeas are the beginning points of all fortunes.
Napoleon HillOne of the best mental disciplines for people to implement is simply putting together a schedule or a task list and actually executing it. Write the list or the schedule the night before, and then do what you said you would do. Life becomes much better when you do that.
Jocko WillinkPlease don’t ask me to do that which I’ve just said I’m not going to do, because you’re burning up time. The meter is running through the sand on you, and I am now filibustering.
George H. W. BushAll great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant’s revolving door.
Albert CamusFires can’t be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.
James BaldwinThe training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
Jean-Jacques RousseauThere are half a dozen subjects that I return to time and time again, and that doesn’t bother me. Because most of my favorite writers do that, to hunt down the same topic or theme from different directions each time.
David BowieIf you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.
Katharine HepburnOne element of Madonna’s career that really takes center stage is how many times she’s reinvented herself. It’s easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It’s inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable.
Taylor SwiftI want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.
Jackie ChanIt’s like a jar of salad dressing sitting on a shelf… most of the seasoning settles to the bottom of the bottle. But when you shake that bottle up, all the ingredients mix together and then the dressing can add flavor to a salad. In the same way, we can stir ourselves up and regain the reverence, respect and awe we once had for the Lord.
Joyce MeyerIf you’re going to wake up early all the time, and you’re working hard, and you’re working out, sometimes you’re going to get tired. It’s OK. It’s acceptable – somewhat. We’re all human, unfortunately.
Jocko WillinkTones sound, and roar and storm about me until I have set them down in notes.
Ludwig van BeethovenPoetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamPoetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
Vincent Van GoghI’m very much into making lists and breaking things apart into categories.
David ByrneThere is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.
Alexander PopeHow oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!
William ShakespeareKeep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
Helen KellerWhen a person is going through hell, and she encounters someone who went through hellish hell and survived, then she can say, ‚Mine is not so bad as all that. She came through, and so can I.‘
Maya AngelouThe reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.
Robert FrostLet all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
Benjamin FranklinI learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.
Ernest HemingwayA good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.

J. ColeThe main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
Stephen CoveyLike anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.
Stephen KingI guess there is nothing that will get your mind off everything like golf. I have never been depressed enough to take up the game, but they say you get so sore at yourself you forget to hate your enemies.
Will RogersIt seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.
Woody AllenNothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.
VoltaireThe soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.
Marcus AureliusIf I could write directly on a typewriter or a computer, I would do it. But keyboards have always intimidated me. I’ve never been able to think clearly with my fingers in that position. A pen is a much more primitive instrument. You feel that the words are coming out of your body and then you dig the words into the page.
Paul AusterMy mother was and will always remain my greatest hero.
Kamala HarrisA man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.
