D’Amato, Cus (1908-1985), boxing trainer
Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It’s like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can’t control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you.
Davidson, Israel
Time is infinitely more precious than money, and there is nothing common between them. You cannot accumulate time; you cannot borrow time; you can never tell how much time you have left in the Bank of Life. Time is life . . .
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
In youth acquire that which may requite you for the deprivations of old age; and if you are mindful that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so exert yourself in youth, that your old age will not lack sustenance.
You don't really know a person until you live with him, not just sleep with him . . . . I staunchly believe no two people should get married until they have lived together. The young people have it right.
De Angelis, Barbara
Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible—it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.
De
Gaulle, Charles
History does not teach fatalism. These are moments when the will of a handful of free men breaks through determinism and opens up new roads. People get the history they deserve.
Delacroix, Eugene
(1798-1863), painter
The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.
Delille, Jacques
Fate
chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.
- Malheur et Pitié
Democritus
Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.
Dickens, Charles (1812-1870), writer
Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy. The best way to lengthen our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose. The wandering man knows of certain ancients, far gone in years, who have staved off infirmities and dissolution by earnest walking—hale fellows, close up on ninety, but brisk as boys.
I never could have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence . . . the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.
Didion, Joan
The secret point of money and power in America is neither the things that money can buy nor power for power's sake but absolute personal freedom, mobility, and privacy.
All our dreams can come true—if we have the courage to pursue them.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Cleanliness and order are not matters of instinct; they are matters of education, and like most great things—mathematics and classics—you must cultivate a taste for them.
The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotations.
The secret of success is constancy of purpose.
Donne
No man is an Island, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Manner of thy friends or of thine owne were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; and therefor never send to know for whom the bell tolls: It tolls for thee.
Drucker, Peter F., management consultant and writer
The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said.
Long-range planning does not deal with future decisions, but with the future of present decisions.
Dyer, Wayne
There
is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there’s only
a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.
