Taylor, Sir Henry

The art of living easily as to money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means.

Teilhard de Chardin

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Tennyson, Alfred Lord

Come, my friends,
'Tis not to late to seek a newer world . . .
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
- Ulysses

'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
- In Memoriam, line 27, stanza 4 (1850)

Terence

Draw from others the lesson that may profit yourself.

Thatcher, Margaret

Let our children grow tall and some taller than others if they have it in them to do so.

I usually make up my mind about a man in ten seconds, and I rarely change it.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Thoreau, Henry David

If you aspire to anything better than politics, expect no cooperation from men. They will not further anything good. You must prevail of your own force, as a plant springs and grows by its own vitality.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see.

It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know.

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumbnail . . . Simplify, simplify.

In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world.

Thurow, Lester, writer, professor M.I.T.

Standards of living are raised not by working harder, but by working smarter. If you want to see people working hard, go to any third-world country.

Tilden, Bill (1893-1953), tennis player

Never change a winning game; always change a losing one.

Trotsky

You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.

Truman, Harry S. (1884-1972), 33^rd U.S. President

We must build a new world, a far better world—one in which the eternal dignity of man is respected.

It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences.

Take a two-mile walk every morning before breakfast.

I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm.

Tupper, Martin Farquhar

Despise not small things, either for evil or good, for a look may work thy ruin, or a word create thy wealth. A spark is a little thing, yet it may kindle the world.

Turgenev, Ivan

You may live a long while with some people and be on friendly terms with them and never speak openly with them from your soul.

Turner, Ted, Television broadcasting executive

Inspiration and passion usually go together. If you are going to try to persuade others to go with you, it certainly doesn’t hurt that you’ve got very strong convictions about where you are going. Like Columbus did, for instance, to discover the New World. And, if you’ve got passion and conviction, you’re more likely to be inspiring. If you’re inspired yourself and you’re passionate about something, you’re more likely to succeed at it, and you’re more likely to get others to come with you.

Tutu, Desmond M., Archbishop

“You are a very special person—become what you are.”

Twain, Mark (1835-1910), Writer and humorist.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.

Make it a point to do something every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it ceased to be one.
