“Imagination is intelligence having fun.”
Albert Einstein

“The capacity to surmount failure without being discouraged is the chief asset of every person who attains outstanding success in any calling.”
Napoleon Hill

“When he wanted, he could radiate charm and sincerity, but I often wonder in these later days if anything about him was as it seemed. I think now he was a man fighting constantly to escape the bars of an invisible cage.”
Frank Herbert

“I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty.”
Thomas Jefferson

“A true genius admits that he/she knows nothing.”
Albert Einstein

“I'm like a starving man who has been given food. Maybe he's cold, and his clothes are torn, and he's ashamed, but he's not unhappy.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance.”
Oprah Winfrey

“I recognized others’ abilities as well. But in any career, whether it’s that of a TV repairman, a musician, a secretary—or a surgeon—an individual must believe in himself and in his abilities. To do his best, one needs a confidence that says, “I can do anything, and if I can’t do it, I know how to get help.”
Ben Carson

“Locura es hacer la misma cosa una y otra vez esperando obtener diferentes resultados”
Albert Einstein

“What you’re saying may get you a foundation grant but it won’t get you into the kingdom of truth.”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Lightly men talk of saying what they mean. Often when he was teaching me to write in Greek the Fox would say, “Child, to say the very thing you really mean, the whole of it, nothing more or less or other than what you really mean; that’s the whole art and joy of words.” A glib saying. When the time comes to you at which you will be forced at last to utter the speech which has lain at the centre of your soul for years, which you have, all that time, idiot-like, been saying over and over, you’ll not talk about joy of words.”
C.S. Lewis

“May it [American independence] be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately... These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.
Thomas Jefferson

“Remember, it is not necessary for others to fail in order that you may succeed. The richest persons are those who give most in service to others.”
Napoleon Hill

“One of the biggest causes of stress is focusing on the negative things that are happening around us.”
Joyce Meyer
