added equals value received.
Age
to me means nothing. I can't get old; I'm working. I was old when I
was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay
young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps
over me and I forget my age.
- George Burns
Never
lose sight of the fact that old age needs so little but needs that little so
much.
- Margaret Willour
Discern
of the coming on of years, and think not to do the same things still, for age
will not be denied.
- Francis Bacon
I
do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take
thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the
greatest improvement of the soul. I
tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as
private.
- Socrates, in Plato's The Death of
Socrates
Recommend
to your children virtue; that alone can make them happy, not gold.
- Ludwig van Beethoven
Men acquire a particular quality by constantly
acting in a particular way.
- Aristotle
Never
look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his
eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.
- Dag Hammarskjold
Vision
is the art of seeing things invisible.
Visualize
this thing that you want. See it,
feel it, believe in it. Make your
mental blueprint and begin to build!
- Robert Collier
To
come to be you must have a vision of Being, a Dream, a Purpose, a
Principle. You will become what your vision is.
- Peter Nivio Zarlenga
Visionary
people are visionary partly because of the very great many things they don't
see.
- Berkeley Rice, New York Times Magazine, (March 17, 1968)
We
are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision.
Every
great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation
through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes
apparent failure and discouragement.
- Florence Scovel Shinn
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that
stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that
drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions,
all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world
will at last be built.
- James Allen (1864-1912), British-born American essayist, author of As a Man
Thinketh
