Some people stay so far in the past that the future is gone before they get there. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it. Unforgiveness does a great deal more damage to the vessel in which it is stored then the object on which it is poured. People who are afraid of dying are usually afraid of life. Small minds are the first to condemn great ideas. Watch for big problems; they disguise big opportunities. Even a fly doesn't get a slap on the back until he starts to work. Jumping at the first opportunity seldom leads to a happy landing. A leader looks for opportunities to find someone doing something right. There is never a right time to do the wrong thing. If you treat a person as he is, he will remain as he is. If you treat him for what he could be, he will become what he could be. Sitting still and wishing makes no person great; The Lord sends the fishing, but you must dig the bait. He who is afraid of doing too much always does too little. " Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: " It might have been! " " - John Greenleaf Whittier You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take. There is an island of opportunity in the middle of every difficulty. In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. " When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other. " - Eric Hoffer " You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you. " - Walt Disney " Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. " Thomas Alva Edison Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
