Personal Development
Embrace Your Dreams
“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!” ― Miguel de Cervantes
New Distractions
“There is never a time when new distraction will not show up; we sow them, so several will grow from the same seed.” ― Seneca the Younger
The Value Of Life
“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life” –Charles Darwin
Earning A Livelihood
“The daily work of earning a livelihood affords particular satisfaction when it has been selected by free choice.. And yet as a path to happiness work is not valued very highly by persons. They do not run after it as they do after other opportunities for gratification.” –Sigmund Freud
Above & Beyond
“Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.” –Andrew Carnegie
Omnipotence
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” –Calvin Coolidge
