This is the meaning of success.
Diane Wakoski
Learning to live what you're born with is the process, the involvement, the making of a life.

More Quotations
Kent Nerburn
Do not fall prey to the false belief that mastery and domination are synonymous with manliness.
George D. Prentice
There are many men whose tongues might govern multitudes if they could govern their tongues.
Lewis Thomas
We pass the word around we ponder how the case is put by different people, we read the poetry we meditate over the literature we play the music we change our minds we reach an understanding. Society evolves this way, not by shouting each other down, but by the unique capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other.
Lord Acton, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, April 3, 1887.
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
Francis Bacon
Nothing is more damaging to a state than that cunning men pass for wise.
John Kieran
I am a part of all I have read.
William Penn
Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.
Doug Larson
The surprising thing about young fools is how many survive to become old fools.
Thomas Carlyle
If Jesus Christ were to come today people would not even crucify him. They would ask him to dinner and hear what he had to say, and make fun of it.
Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
Kites rise highest against the wind---not with it.
Josiah Gilbert Holland
Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that progress gain in strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it.
