Words, thoughts, actions and dreams

Posted Monday, March 16, 2009, at 10:49 AM

It's time to share some words of wisdom:

* "Try not to become a man of success but a man of value." -- Albert Einstein

* "Every artist was first an amateur." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

* "First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do." --Epictetus

* "I cannot give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure -- which is: Try to please everybody all the time." -- Herbert Bayard Swope

* "Insist on yourself. Never imitate." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

* "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." --Henry David Thoreau

* "All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible." -- T.E. Lawrence

* "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." -- Eleanor Roosevelt

* "We think too small. Like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view." --Mao Tse-Tung

* "Where all think alike, no one thinks very much." --Walter Lipman

* "The less men think, the more they talk." -- Baron Montesquieu

* "Thoughts rule the world." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Not every end is a goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, but if it had not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either."
