Making Quotes (page 301)

Idleness is worst, Idleness alone is without hope: work earnestly at anything, you will by degrees learn to work at almost all things. There is endless hope in work, were it even work at making money. Thomas Carlyle
He had the time to hear, like a person who believed there was someone alive beneath the rubble of herself, who heard the soft sounds she could still make from the broken parts that had waited decades to be missed. Anne Lamott
O-90 sat over the notebook, her head leaning toward her left shoulder, and making such an effort that her tongue was pushing her left cheek out. She looked like such a child, so charming. And so I felt good all over, clear, simple... Yevgeny Zamyatin
Nicholas Sparks quote: "That's the thing about life. A lot of the time it isn't easy..."
That's the thing about life. A lot of the time it isn't easy at all. We just have to try to make the best of it. Nicholas Sparks
The world demands I make good choices on no information, and then blames my maidenhood for my mistakes, as if my maidenhood were responsible for my ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be. And I do not like feeling stupid. Lois McMaster Bujold
Alain de Botton quote: "Judged against eternity, how little of what agitates us makes..."
Judged against eternity, how little of what agitates us makes any difference. Alain de Botton
I like to make a distinction between solitude and being alone. Alone signifies loneliness, whereas solitude means really connecting with yourself. Deepak Chopra
The apprenticeship to passivity—I know nothing more contrary to our habits. (The modern age begins with two hysterics: Don Quixote and Luther.) If we make time, produce and elaborate it, we do so out of our repugnance to the hegemony of essence and to the contemplative submission it presupposes. Taoism seems to me wisdom’s first and last word: yet I resist it, my instincts reject it, as they refuse to endure anything—the heredity of revolt is too much for us. Our disease? Centuries of... Emile M. Cioran
Alexander Dumas quote: "I'm not proud, but I'm happy, and I think happiness makes a..."
I'm not proud, but I'm happy, and I think happiness makes a man even blinder than pride. Alexander Dumas
Don't aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. Viktor E. Frankl
Impossible is the word found only in a fool's dictionary. Wise people create opportunities for themselves and make everything possible... Napoleon Bonaparte
Beware of faking: people will believe you. People believe those who sell lotions that make lost hair grow back. They sense instinctively that the salesman is putting together truths that don't go together, that he's not being logical, that he's not speaking in good faith. But they've been told that God is mysterious, unfathomable, so to them incoherence is the closest thing to God. The farfetched is the closest thing to miracle. Umberto Eco
It is when death is rendered graphically, is televised so to speak, that you sense an eerie separation between your condition and yourself. A network of symbols has been introduced, an entire awesome technology wrested from the gods. It makes you feel like a stranger in your own dying. Don DeLillo
I can't make you understandbecause you don't know the meaning of fear. You have the heart ofa lion and an utter lack of imagination and I envy you both ofthose qualities. You'll never mind facing realities and you'llnever want to escape from them as I do. Margaret Mitchell
To be sure, the fundamental task of management remains the same: to make people capable of joint performance through common goals, common values, the right structure, and the training and development they need to perform and to respond to change. Drucker, Peter F. (2009-10-13). The Essential Drucker (Collins Business Essentials) (p. 4). HarperCollins e-books. Kindle Edition. Peter Drucker
