Performer Quotes (page 15)

O powerful goodness! Bountiful Father! Merciful Guide! Increase in me that wisdom which discovers my truest interest. Strengthen my resolution to perform what that wisdom dictates. Accept my kind offices to thy other children as the only return in my power for thy continual favours to me. Benjamin Franklin
...the routine of life goes on, whatever happens, we do the same things, go through the little performance of eating, sleeping, washing. No crisis can break through the crust of habit. Daphne du Maurier
My dear sisters, do not pray for tasks equal to your abilities, but pray for abilities equal to your tasks. Then the performance of your tasks will be no miracle, but you will be the miracle. Thomas S. Monson

You cannot consistently perform in a manner which is inconsistent with the way you see yourself. Zig Ziglar
From this experience, I understood the danger of focusing only on what isn't there. What if I came to the end of my life and realized that I'd spent every day watching for a man who would never come to me? What an unbearable sorrow it would be, to realize I'd never really tasted the things I'd eaten, or seen the places I'd been, because I'd thought of nothing but the Chairman even while my life was drifting away from me. And yet if I drew my thoughts back from him, what life would I have? ... Arthur Golden
A week after my drugs ran out, I left my bed to perform at the college, deciding at the last minute to skip both the doughnut toss and the march of the headless plush toys. Instead, I just heated up a skillet of plastic soldiers, poured a milkshake over my head and called it a night. David Sedaris
The cannon thunders...limbs fly in all directions...one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice...it's Humanity in search of happiness Charles Baudelaire
It appeared to the Elders that the people here would believe anything about themselves, no matter how preposterous, as long as it was flattering. To make sure of this, they performed an experiment. They put the idea into Earthlings' heads that the whole Universe had been created by one big animal who looked just like them. He sat on a throne with a lot of less fancy thrones all around him. When people died they got to sit on those other thrones forever because they were such close relatives... Kurt Vonnegut
We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses--one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the horse called "free will." And the question you have to ask every day is--which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort? Elizabeth Gilbert
Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them. Napoleon Bonaparte
Alan Bennett quote: "History nowadays is not a matter of conviction. It’s a..."
History nowadays is not a matter of conviction. It’s a performance. It’s entertainment. And if it isn’t, make it so. Alan Bennett
The plain state of being human is dramatic enough for anyone; you don't need to be a heroin addict or a performance poet to experience extremity. You just have to love someone. Nick Hornby
Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it most. Love is not appropriately expressed in threats, accusations, expressions of disappointment, or retaliation. Real love takes time, patience, help, and continuing performances. Marvin J. Ashton
E. M. Forster quote: "Life is like a public performance on the violin, in which you..."
Life is like a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the intrument as you go along E. M. Forster
The one function TV news performs very well is that when there is no news we give it to you with the same emphasis as if there were. David Brinkley
