Thanks for the feedback :) glad you liked the poem.....(shows what i do in class instead of paying attention...oops)
well time for more quotes.....
1) "We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best."
David Bailey
2) "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
3) "Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together."
Vincent Van Gogh
4) "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan
5) "Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things." Frank Clark
6) "We achieve everything by our efforts alone. Our fate is not decided by an almighty God. We decide our own fate by our actions. You have to gain mastery over yourself. . . . It is not a matter of sitting back and accepting." Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
7) "What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you love . . . Give it the best there is in you . . . Seize your opportunities And be a member of the team. In no country but America, I believe, is it possible to fulfill all four of these requirements." Benjamin F. Fairless
8)
"Most of us can learn to live in perfect comfort on higher levels of power. Everyone knows that on any given day there are energies slumbering in him which the incitements of that day do not call forth. Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. It is evident that our organism has stored-up reserves of energy that are ordinarily not called upon — deeper and deeper strata of explosible material, ready for use by anyone who probes so deep. The human individual usually lives far within his limits." William James
9) "The heights by great men reached and kept,
Were not obtained by sudden flight
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.
Standing on what too long we bore
With shoulders bent and downcast eyes,
We may discern — unseen before,
A path to higher destinies."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
10) Only if you reach the boundary will the boundary recede before you. And if you don't, if you confine your efforts, the boundary will shrink to accommodate itself to your efforts. And you can only expand your capacities by working to the very limit." Hugh Nibley
11) "Five minutes, just before going to sleep, given to a bit of directed imagination regarding achievement possibilities of the morrow, will steadily and increasingly bear fruit, particularly if all ideas of difficulty, worry or fear are resolutely ruled out and replaced by those of accomplishment and smiling courage." Frederick Pierce
12) "She looked at the crowd and she felt, simultaneously, astonishment that they should stare at her, when this event was so personally her own that no communication about it was possible, and a sense of fitness that they should be here, that they should want to see it, because the sight of an achievement was the greatest gift a human being could offer to others." Ayn Rand
13) The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression.
*Allen J. Boone {American Author}
14) Work as though you would live forever, and live as though you would die today.
*Og Mandino {1923-1996 American Motivational Author & Speaker}
15) In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.
*Henry Miller {1891-1980 American Author}
16) You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.
*Galileo {1564-1642 Italian Astronomer & Mathematician}
17) "Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
18) "You cannot expect to achieve new goals or move beyond your present circumstances unless you change."
Les Brown
19) "Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future."
