When you follow your bliss…doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn’t be a door for anyone else.
Camus, Albert
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.
Carlyle,
Thomas
The great law of
culture is: Let each become all that he was capable of being; expand, if
possible to his full growth; resisting all impediments, casting off all foreign,
especially all noxious adhesions; and show himself at length in his own shape
and stature, be these what they may.
Neither let mistakes nor wrong directions, of which every man, in his studies and elsewhere, falls into many, discourage you. There is precious instruction to be got by finding we were wrong. Let a man try faithfully, manfully to be right; he will grow daily more and more right.

Carnegie
Aim for the highest.
As I grow older I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion.
He that cannot reason is a fool.
He that will not is a bigot.
He that dare not is a slave.
I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line.
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between soul who devote 100%.
Concentration is my motto—first honesty, then industry, then concentration.
Carnegie, Dale
Do you want to make friends? Be friendly. Forget yourself. . . . You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
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 will tend to take care of themselves.
Carroll, James
We cling to our bad feelings and beat ourselves with the past when what we should do is let go of it, like Peter did. Once you let go of guilt, then you go out and change the world.
Carter, Jimmy
To me faith is not just a noun but also a verb.
Carter, Rosalynn
Do what you can to show you care about other people, and you will make our world a better place.
Cato the Elder
Grasp the subject, the words will follow.
Cerar, C.W.
Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.
Cervantes, Miguel de
A proverb is a short sentence based on long experience.
Chalmers, Allan K.
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Lord Chamberlain
Press
not a falling man too far; 'tis virtue:
His faults lie open to the laws; let them,
Not you, correct him.

Life of King Henry VIII

Nicolas de (1741–94), French
writer
A man is not necessarily intelligent because he has plenty of ideas, any
more than he is a good general because he has plenty of soldiers.

Considerations, vol. 2, no. 446 (1796).
Charles, Prince of Wales
Be neither too remote nor too familiar.
Lord Chesterfield
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.
Let your letter be written as accurately as you are able—I mean as to language, grammar, and stops; but as to the matter of it the less trouble you give yourself the better it will be. Letters should be easy and natural, and convey to the persons to whom we send just what we would say if we were with them.
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness; no laziness; no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Be wiser than other people if you can; but do not tell them so.
Churchill, Jennie Jerome
Treat your friends as you do your best pictures, and place them in their best light.
Churchill,
Winston
Never give up. Never, never, never, never give up.
Keep
up appearances; there lies the test;
The world will give the credit for the rest.
One
ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from
it. If you do that, you will double
the danger. But if you meet it
promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half.
Never run away from anything. Never!
Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning.
"We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on
to the end. We shall fight in
France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing
confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever
the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the
landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight
in the hills; we shall never surrender."
- (Speech
to the House of Commons, June 4, 1940)
The price of greatness is responsibility.
Cicero,
Marcus
Tullius
Nobody
can give you wiser advice than yourself.
"Omnium rerum principia parva sunt." (Everything has a small beginning.)
Gratitude is not only the greatest of all the virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.
Silent
leges inter arma." (During war, the laws are silent.)

The
Six Mistakes of Man
1. The delusion that personal gain
is made by crushing others.
2. The tendency to worry about
things that cannot be changed or corrected.
3. Insisting that a thing is
impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial
preferences.
5. Neglecting development and
refinement of the mind, and not acquiring the habit of reading and studying.
6. Attempting to compel others to
believe and live as we do.
It is a frail mind that does not bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation.
Clark, Frank A.
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
Cohen, Herb
If you want to persuade people, show the immediate relevance and value of what you're saying in terms of meeting their needs and desires . . . Successful collaborative negotiation lies in finding out what the other side really wants and showing them a way to get it, while you get what you want.
Cojuangco, Eduardo
Politics is another avenue, and as a businessman, you have to use every avenue available.
Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.
Visualize this thing that you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build!
It is only when you despair of all ordinary means, it is only when you convince it that it must help you or you’ll perish, that the seed of life in you stirs itself to provide a new resource.
Colorose, Barbara
We control fifty percent of a relationship. We influence one hundred percent of it.
Comte de Buffon
Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius.
Confucius
When anger rises, think of the consequences.
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.
Condorcet, Marquis de
Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another.
Coolidge
It takes a great man to be a good listener.
Nothing
in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men
with talent. Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education
will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan
'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Cooper, Ashley, American columnist
The Seven Deadly Sins
Truth, if it
becomes a weapon against persons.
Beauty, if it becomes vanity.
Love, if it becomes possessive.
Loyalty, if it becomes blind, careless trust.
Tolerance, if it becomes indifference.
Self-confidence, if it becomes arrogance.
Faith, if it becomes self-righteous.
Corneille, Pierre
To win without risk is to triumph without glory.
Coubertin
The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part . . . The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.
Covey, Stephen R.
Humility is the mother of all virtues, courage the father, integrity the child, and wisdom the grandchild.
Crane, Frank
What you want to be eventually, that you must be every day; and by and by the quality of your deeds will get down into your soul.
Curie, Marie
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
