A Collection of Favorite Quotes

"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." ~ Ray Bradbury

“Putting pen to paper lights more fire than matches ever will." ~Malcolm Forbes

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~ Nelson Mandela

"The better organized you are in the simple things, the more spontaneous and free you can be with the important things."~ Brian Tracy

"It is amazing what can be accomplished when nobody cares who gets the credit." ~Robert Yates

"Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated." ~Lou Holtz

"The most successful people are those who are good at Plan B" ~James Yorke

"The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do." ~John Holt
