Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.: Margaret Cho, Margaret Cho\'s weblog, 03-23-06
We require from buildings, as from men, two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it; which last is itself another form of duty.: John Ruskin (1819 - 1900), The Stones of Venice, 1880
A self that is only differentiated - not integrated - may attain great individual accomplishments, but risks being mired in self-centered egotism. By the same token, a person who self is based exclusively on integration will be well connected and secure, but lack autonomous individuality. Only when a person invests equal amounts of psychic energy in these two processes and avoids both selfishness and conformity is the self likely to relect complexity.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Pleasure is an important component of the quality of life, but by itself it does not bring happiness. Pleasure helps to maintain order, but by itself cannot create a new order in consciousness.: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, 1990
Don't aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue... as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.: Viktor Frankl, Man's Search For Meaning
The key to non-anxious sermon-writing is that it’s not about me. It’s about the congregation. I honor the fact that the listeners bring more to the sermon than I do. I remind myself of the hundreds of times someone says, 'I loved how you said…' and then tell me things that they heard that were nowhere in my text and that I never said. But they heard what they needed to hear.: Reverend Sean Parker Dennison, Ministrare, 04-07-2006

He who undervalues himself is justly undervalued by others.: William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)

Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.: Ellen DeGeneres
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.: Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)

Perfectionism is simply putting a limit on your future. When you have an idea of perfect in your mind, you open the door to constantly comparing what you have now with what you want. That type of self criticism is significantly deterring.: John Eliot, Ph.D., Reverse Psychology for Success
- More quotations on: [Perfection]
