This is often how high-l

evel chess flows. One guy gets something. The other guy gets what the other guy
left. Always look for the space left behind. So you do notice that even though t
his is quite an atypical position, there are still chess principles that run thr
ough it. There will always be chess principles. And this is why, as a chess play
er, if you know the classical principles that govern all chess positions, then w

, you can still know the basic language of chess. You can still know the questio

INVATA DE LA TOATE
Invata de la apa sa ai statornic drum,
Invata de la flacari ca toate-s numai scrum.
Invata de la umbra sa taci si sa veghezi,
Invata de la stanca cum neclintit sa crezi.
Invata de la pietre cat trebuie sa spui,
Invata de la soare cum trebuie s-apui.
Invata de la vantul ce-adie pe poteci,
Cum trebuie prin lume de linistit sa treci,
Invata de la toate,ca toate-ti sunt surori,
Sa treci frumos prin viata,cum poti frumos sa mori.
Invata de la vierme ca nimeni nu-i uitat,
Invata de la nufar ca nimeni nu-i uitat.
Invata de la flacari ce-avem de ars in noi,
Invata de la apa sa nu dai inapoi.
Invata de la umbra sa fii smerit ca ea,
Invata de la stanca sa-nduri furtuna grea.
Invata de la soare ca vremea s-o cunosti,
Invata de la stele ca ceru-i numai osti.
invata de la greieri - cand singur esti,sa canti,
Invata de la luna sa nu te inspaimanti.
Invata de la vulturi - cand umerii ti-s grei
Si du-te la furnica sa vezi povara ei.
Invata de la floare sa fii gingas(a) ca ea,
Invata de la oaie sa ai blandetea sa.
Invata de la pasari sa fii mai mult in zbor,
Invata de la toate,ca totu-i trecator.

Sunt calator pe-acest Pamant...nu am adus nimic in lume...nu duc nimic din lume
Ce-ai strans ai pierdut....ce-ai daruit ai castigat....
Am cerut putere... Si viata mi-a dat dificultati pentru a ma face puternic.
Am cerut intelepciune... Si viata mi-a dat probleme ca sa le rezolv.
Am cerut prosperitate... Si viata mi-a dat un creier si muschi pentru a munci.
Am cerut sa pot sa zbor... Si viata mi-a dat obstacole de a le depasi.
Am cerut iubire.. Si viata mi-a dat oameni pe care sa ii ajut in problemele lor.
Am cerut favoruri... Si viata mi-a dat potential.
Nu am primit nimic din ce am cerut...
Dar am primit tot ce aveam nevoie.
Poarta de aur
Iubirea alunga teama.
Ea rascumpara o multime de pacate.
Este absolut invincibila.
Nu exista dificultate pe care sa nu o invingi,
cand iubesti destul de mult;
Nicio boala pe care sa nu o vindeci,
cand iubesti destul de mult;
Nicio usa pe care sa nu o deschizi,
cand iubesti destul de mult;
Nicio apa pe care sa nu o treci,
cand iubesti destul de mult;
Niciun zid pe care sa nu-l darami,
cand iubesti destul de mult;
Niciun pacat pe care sa nu-l rascumperi,
cand iubesti destul de mult.
Indiferent cat de grele sunt problemele,
cat de fara speranta pare totul,
cat de incurcat e totul, cat de mare este greseala.
Daca intelegi pe deplin iubirea, le vei risipi.
Daca ati putea iubi suficient de mult,
Ati fi cea mai fericita si mai puternica fiinta din lume.
Cine nu munceste nici nu se grabeste.

I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept
going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my
team mate with the same car.
If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.
It is important, when your techical equipment is not the best, to believe there
will always be a better race; that is a part of my motivation.
It was like I was in a tunnel. Not only the tunnel under the hotel but the whole
circuit was a tunnel. I was just going and going, more and more and more and mo

It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'l

Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People w

The danger sensation is exciting. The challenge is to find new dangers.
The day it arrives, it will arrive. It could be today or 50 years later. The onl

Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I wa

back off, slow down.
There are no small accidents on this circuit.
These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment
you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you
 are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are
enormously fragile.
Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe
the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.
When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place i

Winning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.
Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them.
You must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or yo

It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see.

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to f

Thiking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few en

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the prsent and the only history that

What's right about America is that althought we hace a mess of problems, we have

One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you ge

It is a most mortifying reflection for a man to consider what he has done, compa
red to what he might have done.
Goals are dreams with deadlines.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is ess
entially a part of it.
Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire
.
A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at a

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wak

Great ideas need landing gear as well as wings.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now
and make a brand new ending
God gives us dreams a size too big so that we can grow in them
Between the great things we cannot do and the small things we will not do, the d
anger is that we shall do nothing.
Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours
per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea
, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
Life is full of obstacle illusions.
It is never too late to be who you might have been.
Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.
The best angle from which to approach any problem is the try-angle.
Sometimes the path you're on is not as important as the direction you're heading
.
The impossible is often the untried.
Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.
We are kept from our goal not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal.
Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.
Don't waste time learning the "tricks of the trade." Instead, learn the trade.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
If it came true, it wasn't much of a dream.
The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world ne
eds dreamers who do.
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.
Know your limits, but never stop trying to exceed them.
Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated; you can't cross a chasm
in two small jumps.
The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult.
A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.
Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.

Hell! There ain't no rules around here! We're trying to accomplish somep'n.
The greatest dreams are always unrealistic.
Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great a
mbitions.
You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range
failures.
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done a
t all.
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
Vision without action is a daydream. Action with without vision is a nightmare.
None of our men are "experts." We have most unfortunately found it necessary to
get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because no one ever con
siders himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so
much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and n
ever gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinki
ng always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in
which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the "expert" state of mi
nd a great number of things become impossible.
Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great a
mbitions.
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.
Map out your future, but do it in pencil.
When the horse is dead, get off.
When people say to me: "How do you do so many things?" I often answer them, wi
thout meaning to be cruel: "How do you do so little?" It seems to me that peop
le have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have th
e confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of th
e telly and treat life as if it goes on forever.
Men of genius are meteors destined to burn themselves out in lighting up their a
ge.
A genius is one who shoots at something no one else can see - and hits it.
Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their
bright ideas closer together.
Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered - either by themselves or by oth
ers
When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the
dunces are all in confederacy against him.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It
takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direct
ion.
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
Get mad, then get over it.
Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry.
Sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.
Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him
less than he had been before - it takes something from him.
Never strike your wife - even with a flower.
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us
or we find it not.
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where na
ture may heal and give strength to body and soul.
Our hearts are drunk with a beauty our eyes could never see.
I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.
By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things.
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. An

You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky.
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents t
he airplane and the pessimist the parachute.
Flight is the only truly new sensation than men have achieved in modern history.

The butterfly is a flying flower...

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and
climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
The bluebird carries the sky on his back.
If God had really intended men to fly, he'd make it easier to get to the airport
.
The desire to reach for the sky runs deep in our human psyche.
When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes
turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to retu
rn.
The Wright Brothers created the single greatest cultural force since the inventi
on of writing. The airplane became the first World Wide Web, bringing people, l
anguages, ideas, and values together. ~Bill Gates
The end justifies all the means.
You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Keep your fears to yourself but share your courage with others.
Panic at the thought of doing a thing is a challenge to do it.
The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the
complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety.
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never list
en to any fear.
There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith t
o make us unafraid.
Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance.
Fear is the father of courage and the mother of safety.
Fear has a large shadow, but he himself is small.
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.
A cat bitten once by a snake dreads even rope.
Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light
?
Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real.
The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliver
ance from fear.
To lead is difficult when you're a follower of fear.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his
pictures.
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to
keep.
Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.
Painting is silent poetry.
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is
felt rather than seen.
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.
To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make u
s feel small in the wrong way.
The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he li
ves or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.
All art requires courage.
Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of
the sitter.
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do. ~Edga
r Degas
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about h
is job. It releases tension needed for his work.
Pictures must not be too picturesque
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does
the better.
Great art picks up where nature ends.
Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the fra
me.
What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit.
The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of
the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with th
e universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease
to be an artist.
Let me ask you something, what is not art?
An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that
he - for some reason - thinks it would be a good idea to give them.
For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled
laugh.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction
of personality.
The hardware represents a form of free inteligence and we just must to have the
software to switch it on.
Sex is not the answer. Sex is the question. "Yes" is the answer.
In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Tak

Business is a combination of war and sport.
The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers.
Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their to

Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual respons

It is not the employer who pays the wages. He only handles the money. It is th

Hire character. Train skill.
The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied t

Competition brings out the best in products and the worst in people.
A criminal is a person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital t

There are so many men who can figure costs, and so few who can measure values.
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your busines

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I?
Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn'

My soul is in the sky. ~William Shakespeare
I think it is a pity to lose the romantic side of flying and simply to accept it
as a common means of transport....
When you think about flying, it's nuts really. Here you are at about 40,000 fee
t, screaming along at 700 miles an hour and you're sitting there drinking Diet P
epsi and eating peanuts. It just doesn't make any sense.
The engine is the heart of an airplane, but the pilot is its soul.
The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow. ~B

You can fool all the people all the time if the advertising is right and the bud
get is big enough.
It doesn't matter how many times you fail. It doesn't matter how many times you
almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and
neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you
because... All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then eve
ryone can tell you how lucky you are.
The results of quality work last longer than the shock of high prices.
Dealing with people is probably the biggest problem you face, especially if you
are in business. Yes, and that is also true if you are a housewife, architect o
r engineer.
To take something from a person and keep it for oneself: that is robbery. To t
ake something from one person and then turn it over to another in exchange for a
s much money as you can get: that is business. Robbery is so much more stupid,
since it is satisfied with a single, frequently dangerous profit; whereas in bu
siness it can be doubled without danger.
A man of business may talk of philosophy; a man who has none may practise it.
It is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explan
ations, promises are promises but only performance is reality.
The NBA is never just a business. It's always business. It's always personal.
All good businesses are personal. The best businesses are very personal.
If you're doing your best, you won't have any time to worry about failure.
Failure is an event, never a person.
The only time you don't fail is the last time you try anything - and it works.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
There is no failure except in no longer trying.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... it just means you haven't succeeded ye
t
Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.
There are defeats more triumphant than victories.
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, "I have f
ailed three times," and what happens when he says, "I am a failure."
Failure sometimes enlarges the spirit. You have to fall back upon humanity and
God.
No man is a failure who is enjoying life.
Because a fellow has failed once or twice or a dozen times, you don't want to se
t him down as a failure till he's dead or loses his courage.
You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure.
There is no failure. Only feedback.
Failure changes for the better, success for the worse.
You always pass failure on your way to success.
Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it. We learn only from f
ailure.
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.

It is a mistake to suppose that people succeed through success; they often succe
ed through failures.
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who tr
y to do nothing and succeed.
When people say to me: "How do you do so many things?" I often answer them, wi
thout meaning to be cruel: "How do you do so little?" It seems to me that peop
le have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary things if they have th
e confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don't. They sit in front of th

One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody
. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody wo
uld do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry a
bout that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do i
t, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybod
y blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anyone could have.
We're still not where we're going, but we're not where we were.
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is
generally interrupted by someone doing it.
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the
goal.
Once a woman has forgiven her man, she must not reheat his sins for breakfast.
It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions. ~Ambrose Bierce, The D
evil's Dictionary
Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decid

Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.
There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the
true, where he is free to do what he ought.
Most people want security in this world, not liberty.
Men fight for freedom, then they begin to accumulate laws to take it away from t
hemselves.
Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when
you decide how to respond.
Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have.
Freedom is not enough.
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety dese
rve neither liberty nor safety.
Who speaks of liberty while the human mind is in chains?
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Freedom has a thousand charms to show, That slaves, howe'er contented, never kno
w.
The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive powe
r.
Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up e
asy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more
slaves.
I prefer liberty with danger to peace with slavery.
Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves.
Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.
The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.
Freedom is never free.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things yo
u can be.
Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things.
A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend.
The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you ca
n do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately
without growing apart.
A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.
True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival valu
e; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
The future is called "perhaps," which is the only possible thing to call the fut
ure. And the only important thing is not to allow that to scare you.
Our faith in the present dies out long before our faith in the future.
We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the re
st of our lives there.
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
The past can't see you, but the future is listening.
And in today already walks tomorrow.
The future is always beginning now.
The future, according to some scientists, will be exactly like the past, only fa
r more expensive.
You can never plan the future by the past.
I know not what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.
The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing b
ut the dim outlines of an old and worried face.
Time waste differs from material waste in that there can be no salvage. The eas
iest of all wastes and the hardest to correct is the waste of time, because wast
ed time does not litter the floor like wasted material.
You can fool all the people all the time if the advertising is right and the bud
get is big enough.
Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right.
The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies neve
r lie.
I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the histor
y in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is a tradition. We want to l
ive in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the hi
story we make today.
A lot of guys have had a lot of fun joking about Henry Ford because he admitted
one time that he didn't know history. He don't know it, but history will know h
im. He has made more history than his critics ever read.
A bore is a fellow who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it.
Don't find fault. Find a remedy.
Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now
and make a brand new ending.
God gives us dreams a size too big so that we can grow in them.
Often, what seems an impossible climb is just a staircase without the steps draw

The best angle from which to approach any problem is the try-angle.
The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world ne

When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
Don't live down to expectations. Go out there and do something remarkable.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of
somebody else.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Put your future in good hands - your own.
It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.
The man who has done his best has done everything.
There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you do not do them.
The best helping hand that you will ever receive is the one at the end of your o
wn arm.
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Dreams are free, so free your dreams.
Promise yourself to live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evo
lution.
What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.
The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect
to sit.
A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that ot
hers throw at him or her.
It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.
I quit being afraid when my first venture failed and the sky didn't fall down.
In response to those who say to stop dreaming and face reality, I say keep dream

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is o

light from within.
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound our

Life is not about discovering our talents; it is about pushing our talents to th

Don't let anyone steal your dream. It's your dream, not theirs
Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone

I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts

Well done is better than well said.
The shortest answer is doing.
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust

Between saying and doing many a pair of shoes is worn out.
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it

Action is eloquence. ~William Shakespeare
A barking dog is often more useful than a sleeping lion.
Action is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Be content to act, and leave the talking to others.
All know the way; few actually walk it.
Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and s

If your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
Deliberation is a function of the many; action is the function of one.
The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired, but becomes insp
ired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach and Mozart settled down day
after day to the job in hand with as much regularity as an accountant settles d
own each day to his figures. They didn't waste time waiting for inspiration.
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.
Success will never be a big step in the future, success is a small step taken ju
st now.
Nature takes away any faculty that is not used.
He that waits upon fortune is never sure of a dinner.
In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.
Action will remove the doubts that theory cannot solve.
Men expect too much, do too little.
All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them but confront them.
No human being who is in their inner centre can be hypnotized. Who is being guid
ed, who is close to their intuition, who is sharp, critical operative, who has s
harp sens of jujment can't ever be manipulated.
People who are really serious about the sftware should make their own hardwere.
I skate to where the puck is going to be not where it has been.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be tra
pped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't
let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most impo
rtant, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already
know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
If you have a target in your life, a real target, doesn't matter if you are very
poor or rich people, if you work hard and believe in yourself, you can get the
success, success in the life.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encounte
red to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything all exter
nal expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things
just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Reme
mbering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of th
inking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not
to follow your heart.
Somtimes is better when you don't realize how mad is your idea.
Men have been talked that is virtue to agree with others , but creator is the me
n who disagrees, men have been talked that is virtue to swim with the current,
but creator is the men who goes against the current, men have been talked that i
s virtue to stay together, but creator is the men who stays alone.
Art is descovery of yourself through yur art.
A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.
A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve
them is no religion.
A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accide
nt.
Action expresses priorities.
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purif
ying your thoughts and everything will be well.
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.
Are creeds such simple things like the clothes which a man can change at will an
d put on at will? Creeds are such for which people live for ages and ages.
Be the change that you want to see in the world.
Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his
intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.
Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some f
orm or other will always be needed.
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffec
ted by outside circumstances.
Each one prays to God according to his own light.
Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.
Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.
Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into.
Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win
.
Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man n
ot pay for living?
Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.
Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.
God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no
public support. It is self-sustained.
God sometimes does try to the uttermost those whom he wishes to bless.
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the pres
ent. God has given me no control over the moment following.
I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sa
crifice.
I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike
your Christ.
Consider how much more you often suffer from your anger and grief, than from tho
se very things for which you are angry and grieved.
When a man sends you an impudent letter, sit right down and give it back to him
with interest ten times compounded, and then throw both letters in the wastebask
et.
To carry a grudge is like being stung to death by one bee.
The worst-tempered people I've ever met were people who knew they were wrong.
Anger is a bad counselor.
I refuse to walk away from the fight, to go right to the end.
When people get you on the edge, never let you throw down, finde another way to
elaborate acumulated energy.

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flow
er would grow in thought and mind.
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new at
all.

es so many of them.

Everybody likes a compliment.
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening
the axe.
He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.
How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a
leg doesn't make it a leg.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upo
n to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but
I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that sta
nds right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes
wrong.
I can make more generals, but horses cost money.
I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end...
I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left,
and that friend shall be down inside of me.
I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?
If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain
their respect and esteem.

nce.

remove all doubt.
I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely m
ove it from their faces into their hearts.
Tell them dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,
Then beauty is its own excuse for being

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
A woman who cannot be ugly is not beautiful.

Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.
Beauty... is the shadow of God on the universe.
You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty
, it will be your soul's own doing.
Beauty - in projection and perceiving - is 99.9% attitude.
Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic.
Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't wan
t a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.
The tragedy of sexual intercourse is the perpetual virginity of the soul.
You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop.
Keep your fears to yourself but share your courage with others.
The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the
complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety.
There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never list
en to any fear.
There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.
There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith t
o make us unafraid.
Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if th
ey can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon yo
u; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.
Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance.
Fear has a large shadow, but he himself is small.
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
To lead is difficult when you're a follower of fear.
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile... initially scared me to
death.
The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliver
ance from fear.

Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real.
Who is more foolish, the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light
?

Put a grain of boldness into everything you do.
There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.
Freedom lies in being bold.
You can swim all day in the Sea of Knowledge and still come out completely dry.
Most people do.
A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.
Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If w
e're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs,
we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge.

nspire them.

Success is neither a high jump nor a long jump; it is the steps of a marathon.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
Take up one idea and act on it. Make that one idea your life. Think of it, dream
of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, and every part o

Failure is never as scary as regret.
