TODAY'S QUOTES

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

TODAY'S QUOTES

Post by Pravin Kumar » Sat Apr 12, 2008 12:55 pm



WINNING

"Accept the challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory." -- General George S. Patton

"Winners are people with a definite purpose in life." -- Denis Waitley

"It seems to me that it's actually harder to invent excuses than it is to be successful." -- Jeffrey Gitomer

"Don’t be content with doing only you duty. Do more than you duty. It’s the horse that finishes a neck ahead that wins the race." -- Andrew Carnegie

OWN YOUR FAILURES

Don’t be discouraged by a failure. ...Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.

John Keats (1795-1821)
Poet


Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)
Philosopher

Happiness is like a cloud. It's beautiful, but if you stare at it too long it disappears.

-Sarah McLachlan

Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice.
