Great Famous Quotes
Og Mandino
The only certain means is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.
Mary Catherine Bateson
The truth that survives is simply the lie that is pleasantest to believe.
Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev
It is better to discuss things, to argue and engage in polemics than make perfidious plans of mutual destruction.
Eric Hoffer
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action - the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
