“The most influential French novelist of the nineteenth century Flaubert is remembered primarily for the stylistic precision & dispassionate rendering of psychological detail found in his masterpiece “Madame Bovary”” wikipedia
GUSTAVE FLAUBERT 1821-1880———————-“Madame Bovary”.
ONLY THREE THINGS ARE INFINITE. The sky in its stars, the sea in its drops of water & the heart in its tears.
THERE IS NO TRUTH. THERE IS ONLY PERCEPTION.
I BELIEVE THAT IF ONE ALWAYS LOOKED AT THE SKIES, ONE WOULD END UP WITH WINGS.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD IS TO HOLD YOUR SOUL ALOFT.
THE MOST GLORIOUS moments in your life are not the so-called days of success but rather those days when out of dejection & despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life &TRAVEL the promise of future accomplishments.
TRAVEL MAKES ONE MODEST. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.
STUPIDITY is something unshakable; nothing attacks it without breaking itself against it; it is of the nature of granite, hard and resistant.
I SPENT THE MORNING putting in a comma & the afternoon removing it.
TO BE STUPID, SELFISH & HAVE GOOD HEAlth are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.
BE REGULAR & orderly in your life so that you may be violent & original in your work.
MAYBE HAPPINESS TOO IS A METAPHOR INVENTED ON A DAY OF BOREDOM.
ANYTHING BECOMES INTERESTING IF YOU LOOK AT IT LONG ENOUGH.
OUR IGNORANCE of history causes us to slander our own times. The ordinary person today lives better than a kind did a cenntuury ago but is ungrateful!
IT IS NECESSARY TO SLEEP ON THE PILLOW OF DOUBT.
TO BE SIMPLE IS NO SMALL MATTER.
TALENT IS NOTHING BUT LONG PATIENCE.
SUCCESS IS A CONSEQUENCE & MUST NOT BE A GOAL.
ONE can be the master of what one does but never of what one feels.
PLEASURE IS FOUND FIRST IN ANTICIPATION, LATER IN MEMORY.
OG MANDINO 1993-1996—-“The Greatest Salesman in the World”
“Manding’s main philosophical message is that every person on earth is a mirror & should choose to direct their life with confidence & congruent to the laws that govern abundance. He claimed that all successful people take on their own lives by “charting” or consciously choosing both the desired destination & the path to reach it.” wikipedia
ALWAYS SEEK OUT THE SEED OF TRIUMPH IN EVERY ADVERSITY.
TREASURE THE LOVE you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.
BEGINNING TODAY treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness & understanding you can muster & do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
I AM RARE & THERE IS VALUE IN ALL RARITY; THEREFORE I AM VALUABLE.
DO ALL THINGS WITH LOVE.
ONE of the things is we tend to give up too soon. We get knocked down a couple of times & we stay down. It’s so important to get back up again.
REALIZE THAT TRUE HAPPINESS LIES WITHIN YOU.
I WILL LOVE THE LIGHT FOR IT SHOWS ME THE WAY, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.
YOUR only limitations are those yo set up in your mind or permit others to set up for you.
I WILL GREET THIS DAY WITH LOVE IN MY HEART.
TAKE THE ATTITUDE OF A STUDENT never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.
ALL THE GOLD IN THE WORLD cannot buy a dying man one more breath–so what that make today worth?
REMEMBER that the most difficult tasks are consummated, not by a single explosive burst of energy or effort but by the constant daily application of the best you have within you.
FAILURE will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is stromg enough.
WELCOME EVERY MORNING WITH A SMILE.
