[Today's Quotes] [Archive Index]

Selected from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations - May 06, 2019

If you wish in this world to advance, your merits you're bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it, and blow your own trumpet, or trust me, you haven't a chance.: W. S. Gilbert (1836 - 1911)
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for the truth; and truth rewarded me.: Simone de Beauvoir
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.: Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), O Magazine, September 2003
If you wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes. If you don't wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes.: Unknown, African Proverb
