Calvin Coolidge
If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.
Unknown
Never judge someone till you've walked a mile in their shoes, cause then you're a mile away and you've got their shoes.

Daily Quotations
Douglas Adams
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
Theodore Roosevelt
All the resources we need are in the mind.
Mohandas Ghandi
All truths, not merely ideas, but truthful faces, truthful pictures or songs, are highly beautiful.
Edwin A. Robinson
Are you to pay for all you have with all you are?
Thomas Jefferson
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.
Saint Francis de Sales
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.
Napolean Hill
Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.
Charles Wagner
Joy is not a thing, it is in us.
Jesse Shelley
Conformity is the ruin of the mind.
