Top 10 Best Quotes
“Living off others is a form of bondage—for if you take from a person his responsibility to care for himself, you also take from him the opportunity to be free.”
“We have within us the power to choose how we respond to a hurtful situation. We cannot control the actions of others, but we can control how we will respond. As we understand our power to choose, we see that we are in control. Our life is not a result of our environment or upbringing, but a result of our choices. We have the ability to determine the kind of life we want to live and the type of person we wish to be.”
“Some people are like a thermometer. If their environment is negative, they are negative. If bad things happen, they are sad. If good things happen, they are happy. They are simply a product of their environment. Successful people, on the other hand, are more like a thermostat. Even if their environment is negative, they choose to be positive.”
“Life is not a competition with others. Life is a competition with yourself—to do your personal best each day.”
“You can write and visualize goals all you want, but if you do not take action, your goals will never become a reality. To obtain a goal you have never before achieved will require tasks you have never before done.”
“There is great power in goals and dreams.”
“The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” –Michelangelo”
“Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India. At the time of his birth, India had been ruled by the English for over 200 years. “There was nothing unusual about the boy Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, expect perhaps that he was very, very shy. He had no unusual talent, and went through school as a somewhat less than average student.”14”
“Gandhi once said, “There are 999 who believe in honesty for every honest man.”
“Every choice carries a consequence. For better or worse, each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor. There are not exceptions. If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment, why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?” -Gary Ryan Blair”
