| Getting Your Head Right (compiled by Will Craven) |
As a goal race approaches I always like to review my favorite quotes. I
wanted to share them with my friends. There is a reason that Emerson's quote about
friendship is first. Hope these keep you going.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the
joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers
that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."
T. S. Eliot
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can
go."
Dale Carnegie
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have
kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
Joshua J. Marine
"Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life
meaningful."
Mark Twain
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is
breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on
the first one."
William Jennings Bryan
"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice."
Amelia Earhart
"Adventure is worthwhile."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and
convenience, but where the stand in times of challenge and controversy."
Roger Staubach
"Confidence is the result of hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and
dedication."
William James
"Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a
second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out
of you."
Mohandas Gandhi
"Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full
victory."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"What lies behind us and what lies beneath us are tiny matters compared to what lies
within us."
"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we
fail".
Ernest Hemingway
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died
that distinguish one man from another.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide."
Woodrow Wilson
"We are not here merely to make a living...but enrich the world with a finer spirit
of hope and achievement -- and we impoverish ourselves if we forget the errand."
"Feel the fear and DO IT ANYWAY!.... "
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is
more important than fear."
"Carpe tempus, diem fugit! "(Seize time for the day flies!) |
