Results from Classic Quotes:

To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
It is curious to note the old sea-margins of human thought. Each subsiding century reveals some new mystery; we build where monsters used to hide themselves.: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
The world owes all its onward impulses to men ill at ease. The happy man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits.: Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864)
All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

There are fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will.: Grenville Kleiser
This I do know beyond any reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you are doing, if you pump long enough, hard enough and enthusiastically enough, sooner or later the effort will bring forth the reward.: Zig Ziglar
Unless you are prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
There is nothing respecting which a man may be so long unconscious as of the extent and strength of his prejudices.: Francis Jeffrey (1773 - 1850)
Praise from the common people is generally false, and rather follows the vain than the virtuous.: Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
