Here are a some of my favorite quotes, two from long ago and one from a friend this morning:
“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” ~Thomas Jefferson
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty” Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
British prime minister during WWII
“There may be some things you do better than me, and some things that I do better than you, but unless you are willing to do EVERYTHING YOURSELF ALL THE TIME, you need to trust and respect the individual responsible for the task.”
I always think it is good to step back and listen….
Enjoyed your blog and quotes! Here’s another Schulte favorite of many years:
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
(Paris Sorbonne,1910)
