~ Quotes 2 ~
All of us encounter, at least once in our life, some individual who utters words that make us think forever. There are men whose phrases are oracles; who can condense in one sentence the secrets of life; who blurt out an aphorism that forms a character, or illustrates an existence.
~ Benjamin Disraeli

Life isn't fair. It isn't going to be fair. Stop sniveling and whining and go out and make it happen for you.
The most important work you and I will ever do will be within the walls of our own homes
No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished?
Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
Don't waste your breath proclaiming what's really important to you. How you spend your time says it all.
You can get control of your tasks and activities only to the degree that you stop doing some things and start spending more time on the few activities that can really make a difference in your life.
Doing less meaningless work, so that you can focus on things of greater personal importance, is NOT laziness. This is hard for most people to accept, because our culture [American] tends to reward personal sacrifice instead of personal productivity
Some day" doesn't exist, never has, and never will. There is no "some day". There's only today. When tomorrow comes, it will be another today; so will the next day. They all will. There is never anything but today.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing
Most people spend their entire lives on a fantasy island called 'Someday I'll'.
This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: We are given one life, and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind or whether to act and, in acting, to live.
Most people wait until everything is just right before they do anything. They refuse to go out on a limb where the fruit is. They refuse to bet on themselves
Most of us go through life as failures, because we are waiting for the "time to be right" to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will never be "just right." Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
When life does not go our way or we inadvertently make a mistake, it is so easy to make excuses, place blame on others, or argue that circumstances were against us. But we only progress in life to the extent that we take responsibility for our actions and attitudes, and put forth the initiative necessary to create our own circumstances.
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy
Decide what your priorities are and how much time you'll spend on them. If you don't, someone else will.

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within
I am not a has-been. I am a will be. ~Lauren Bacall
If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price. ~Author Unknown
Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.
A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go
Your value is the product of your thoughts. Do not miscalculate your self worth by multiplying your insecurities
Never dull your shine for somebody else
Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.
Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers.
Once you become self-conscious, there is no end to it; once you start to doubt, there is no room for anything else.
