Motivational Quotes of the Day

[Today's Quotes] [Archive Index]

Selected from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations - April 27, 2008

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1891
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865), in a letter to J. M. Cutts, October 26, 1863
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.: The Dhammapada
It's not foresight or hindsight we need. We need sight, plain and simple. We need to see what is right in front of us.: Real Live Preacher, RealLivePreacher.com Weblog, April 22, 2003
