Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.: Charles F. Kettering (1876 - 1958)
You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.: Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

When you are in any contest you should work as if there were - to the very last minute - a chance to lose it.: Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.: Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC)
- More quotations on: [Balance]
Do not measure your loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them.: Saint Basil (329 AD - 379 AD)
If you look at life one way, there is always cause for alarm.: Elizabeth Bowen (1899 - 1973)
If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion, kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if indeed that cause is really a good one.: Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
Go not for every grief to the physician, nor for every quarrel to the lawyer, nor for every thirst to the pot.: George Herbert (1593 - 1633)
Beware of the young doctor and the old barber.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
- More quotations on: [Age]
