LIFE IN ABUNDANCE COMES ONLY THROUGH GREAT LOVE.
THE GRAVEYARDS are full of indispensable men.
CHARACTER is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.
ALL human evil comes from a single cause, man’s inability to sit still in a room.
POSITIVE ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN NEGATIVE NOTHING.
A FRIEND is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
A LITTLE more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed a hopeless failure may turn to a glorious success.
ART IS NOT A THING: IT IS A WAY.
KNOW what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.
The recipe FOR PERPETUAL IGNORANCE IS: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.
A RETENTIVE MEMORY MAY BE A GOOD THING, BUT THE ABILITY TO FORGET IS A TRUE TOKEN OF GREATNESS.
WE are punished by our sins, not for them.
THE FINAL PROOF of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.
THE TEACHER is the one who gets the most out of lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.
THE REASON men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.
PRAY that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it.
THE INEFFABLE JOY of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.
LITTLE MINDS are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace.
ART is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.
BLAISE PASCAL 1623-1662 “Pensees” “The Gospels of the Gospels”
NOTHING GIVES REST BUT THE SINCERE SEARCH FOR TRUTH.
KIND WORDS do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.
THE SUPREME function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason.
ELOQUENCE is a painting of the thoughts.
MEN are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.
FAITH embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.
IF ALL men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friend in the world.
THE GREATNESS of man is great in that he knows himself to be wretched. a tree does not know itself to be wretched.
PEACE ON EARTH
