Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

I learned that courage was no the absence of fear, but the triump over. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
|
It is no little wisdom for you to keep yourself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to you, and to turn your heart to God and not to be troubled with the judgment of others.
|
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows. And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes. Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing what's in store makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores. And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry. Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky. I'll never reach my destination if I never try, So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry. Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away. To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today. So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied. Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
|
If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.
|
A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.
|
The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.
|
The highest compliment that you can pay me is to say that I work hard every day, that I never dog it.
|
We talk on principal, but act on motivation.
|
When the leader passes over all alike, not making a distinction, then the endeavors of those who are capable of exertion are entirely lost.
|
Everything around us is made up of energy. To attract positive things in your life, start by giving off positive energy.
|
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
|
So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved.
|
Though a good motive cannot sanction a bad action, a bad motive will always vitiate a good action. In common and trivial matters we may act without motives, but in momentous ones the most careful deliberation is wisdom.
|
God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.
|
The whole motivation for any performer is Look at me, Ma
|
Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.
|
Means we use must be pure as the ends we seek
|
Next to excellence, comes the appreciation of it.
|
I don't think racial motivation has anything to do with it.
|
Recognition is the greatest motivator.
|
Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.
|
You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.
|
Leave no stone unturned.
|
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
|
Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.
|
You make the world a better place by making yourself a better person.
