Gandhi, Mahatma

Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Gates, Kate L.

Thomas Carlyle was once talking to a young friend, and asked him what his aim in life was. The young man replied that he had none. "Get one, then, and get it quick," said Carlyle, sharply. "Make something your specialty. Life is a very uncertain affair. Knowing a little about five hundred things won't do us much good. We must be able to do something well, that our work will be needed and valuable."

Gibran, Kahlil

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.

Gide, Andre

In order to be utterly happy the only thing necessary is to refrain from comparing this moment with other moments in the past, which I often did not fully enjoy because I was comparing them with other moments of the future.

Do not think that your truth can be found by anyone else; be ashamed of nothing more than of that.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang

What you can do, or dream
you can, begin it;
Boldness has genius, power
and magic in it.

Nothing is more significant of men's character than what they find laughable.

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

Beware of dissipating your powers; strive constantly to concentrate them. Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but it is sure to repent of every ill-judged outlay.

Goldwyn, S.

An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Goodman, Paul

Enjoyment is not a goal, it is a feeling that accompanies important ongoing activity.

Goodman, Roy M.

Remember that happiness is a way of travel—not a destination.

Gorbachev, Mikhail, statesman

Only those who do nothing never make mistakes.

Gracian, Baltasar

Discover someone to help shoulder your misfortunes. Then you will never be alone . . . neither fate, nor the crowd, so readily attacks two.

Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong.

Know how to ask. There is nothing more difficult for some people, nor for others, easier.

Like love, courage is no joking matter. If it yields once, it will have to yield again, and again. The same difficulty will have to be conquered later on, and it would have been better to get it over with.

We have more days to live through than pleasures. Be slow in enjoyment, quick at work, for men see work ended with pleasure, pleasure ended with regret.

"Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it."

The great art of giving consists in this: the gift should cost very little and yet be greatly coveted, so that it may be the more highly appreciated.

Do pleasant things yourself, but unpleasant things through others.

Grayson, Melvin J.

As reporters we were supposed to tell the news as succinctly and objectively as possible. But it's not always appropriate for novelist or a playwright or an advertising copywriter, a public relations specialist or a consumer affairs professional. For the job of the novelist and the playwright is to entertain and our job in corporate communications is to convince, and, if necessary, proselytize. To entertain and to convince you need more than clarity. You need eloquence. You need flair. You need the whole gamut of words and sentence structures—the involved and the complex as well as the bare bones simple.

Greeley, Horace, journalist and politician

The darkest hour of any man’s life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.

Grellett, Stephen

I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show any human being, let me do it now. Let me not deter or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

Gretzky, Wayne

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Guitry, Sacha

The best way to turn a woman's head is to tell her she has a beautiful profile.
