Results from Cole's Quotables:

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.: Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)
Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.: Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)
Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.: Shunryu Suzuki
Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep burning, unquenchable.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.: Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919), "Man in the Arena" Speech given April 23, 1910
I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on.: Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962)
Any business arrangement that is not profitable to the other person will in the end prove unprofitable for you. The bargain that yields mutual satisfaction is the only one that is apt to be repeated.: B. C. Forbes
Never underestimate the power of the irate customer.: Joel E. Ross
The successful man is the one who finds out what is the matter with his business before his competitors do.: Roy L. Smith
...A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.: John Milton (1608 - 1674)
