“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius, and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.”
Albert Einstein

“There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself meeting them.”
Phyllis Bottome
Daily Quotation 101
“Keep working to make your life large. As you do, realize that your fears will be working just as hard to make your life small. With absolute certainty, if you stop taking risks then you get intimidated. And intimidation does not give birth to success.”
Wes Beavis (Give Your Life A Success Makeover)

Daily Quotation 100
“We know that when a person begins to grow, the obstacles get bigger and better. But there’s excitement and progress in struggle – and life gets easier only when you’re coasting downhill.”
Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones (Life Is Tremendous)
Daily Quotation 99
“With a fresh look we can start to recognize the unlimited opportunity that lies all around us. We must look to the present and the future. We must see the oak while it is in the acorn, the flower while in the seed and the spark while it is in the flint. We must learn to see abundance where most see lack.”
Colin Turner (Born To Succeed)
Daily Quotation 98
“A man will succeed in anything about which he has real enthusiasm, in which he is genuinely interested, provided that he will take more thought about his job than the men working with him. The fellow who sits still and does what he is told will never be told to do big things.”
Charles M. Schwab (Succeeding With What You Have)
Daily Quotation 97
“If you are secure, you never have to jockey for control or lord it over your friends, and you know, as Sarah Teasdale once observed, that “no one worth possessing can be quite possessed.””
Alan Loy McGinnis (The Friendship Factor)
Daily Quotation 96
“It is not enough to wire the world if you short-circuit the soul. Technology without heart is not enough.”
Tom Brokaw (NBC News Anchor)
Daily Quotation 95
“You may of course ask whether we really need to refer to ‘saints.’ Wouldn’t it suffice just to refer to decent people? It is true they form a minority. More than that, they always will remain a minority. And yet I see therein the very challenge to join the minority. For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best.”
Viktor E. Frankl (Man’s Search For Meaning)
Daily Quotation 94
“I was taught that everything is attainable if you’re prepared to give up, to sacrifice, to get it. Whatever you want to do, you can do it if you want to do it badly enough…and I do believe that. I believe that if I wanted to run a mile in four minutes I could do it. I would have to give up everything else in life, but I could run a mile in four minutes. I believe that if a man wanted to walk on water and was prepared to give up everything else in life, he could do that.”
Sir Stirling Moss
