“Believe while others are doubting. Plan while others are playing. Study while others are sleeping. Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning. Commend while others are criticizing. Persist while others are quitting.”
John C. Maxwell

“For a scientist, altering your doctrines when the facts change is not a sign of weakness.”
Albert Einstein

“God knows, but He's waiting”
Leo Tolstoy

“What you tolerate you can not change”
Joel Osteen

“Whatever his reasons, Gorbachev had the intelligence to admit Communism was not working, the courage to battle for change, and, ultimately, the wisdom to introduce the beginnings of democracy, individual freedom, and free enterprise. As I said at the Brandenburg Gate in 1987, the Soviet Union faced a choice: Either it made fundamental changes or it became obsolete. Gorbachev saw the handwriting on the Wall and opted for change.”
Ronald Reagan

Albert Einstein

“SUCCESS REQUIRES NO APOLOGIES, FAILURE PERMITS NO ALIBIS.” If the thing you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it!

Napoleon Hill

“I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.”
Thomas A. Edison

“And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away all this artificial scaffolding...
Thomas Jefferson

“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.”

George Washington
