A man can know nothing of mankind without knowing something of himself. Self-knowledge is the property of that man whose passions have their full play, but who ponders over their results.: Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)
Plodding wins the race.: Aesop (620 BC - 560 BC)
In the late 19th century Evanston, Illinois, nicknamed "Heavenston" by Frances Willard, was a Methodist-minded town, so pious that the town fathers, resenting the dissipating influence of the soda fountain, passed an ordinance forbidding the sale of ice cream sodas on Sunday. Some ingenious confectioners, obeying the law, served ice cream with syrup but no soda. This sodaless soda was the Sunday soda, and became so popular that orders for "Sundays" crossed the counter everyday of the week. When objection was raised to christening the dish after the Sabbath, the spelling was changed to Sundae, and so developed one of America's most characteristic dishes.: William Lyon Phelps
Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours.: Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)
Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much, are the three pillars of learning.: Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)
Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.: Maurice Maeterlinck (1862 - 1949)
In making up the character of God, the old theologians failed to mention that He is of infinite cheerfulness. The omission has caused the world much tribulation.: Michael Monahan
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you desire from what you do. If you are in a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out.: Michael Korda
What business strategy is all about; what distinguishes it from all other kinds of business planning - is, in a word, competitive advantage. Without competitors there would be no need for strategy, for the sole purpose of strategic planning is to enable the company to gain, as effectively as possible, a sustainable edge over its competitors: Keniche Ohnae
