Lao Tzu |
|
|
| While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, He who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions.

By letting each thing act in accordance with its own nature, everything that needs to be done gets done. |

| Without going out-of-doors, one can know all he needs to know. Without even looking out of his window, one can grasp the nature of everything. Without going beyond his own nature, one can achieve ultimate wisdom. Therefore, the intelligent man knows all he needs to know without going away, And sees all he needs to see without looking elsewhere, And does all he needs to do wihout undue exertion. |

Lao Tzu |
|
|
| Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status. |

Learned Hand |
|
|
| I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it... |

| If you want to win friends, make it a point to remember them. If you remember my name, you pay me a subtle compliment you indicate that I have made an impression on you. Remember my name and you add to my feeling of importance. |

| Take a chance All life is a chance. The man who goes furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. |
Dale Carnegie |

|
| Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones tend to take care of themselves. |
Dale Carnegie |
|
|
| If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done. |
Dale Carnegie |
|
|
| It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about. |
Dale Carnegie |

|
| The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules whose would you use |
Dale Carnegie |
|
|
| One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today. |
Dale Carnegie |

|
| Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do. |
Dale Carnegie |

| Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have it depends solely upon what you think. |
Dale Carnegie |
