Dignity and Honour

    No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave. Calvin Coolidge   Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. Thomas Jefferson   Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. Lois McMaster Bujold   There are truths, that are beyond us, transcendent truths, about beauty, truth, honor, etc. There are truths that man knows exist, but they cannot be seen - they are immaterial, but no less real, to us. It is only through the language of myth that we can speak of these truths. J. R. R. Tolkien   It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow   It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them. Mark Twain   Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud. Sophocles   The purpose of life is not to be happy. It i...

Mastery of Hardships

    One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself. Leonardo da Vinci   A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships. Helen Keller   Mastery is not a function of genius or talent. It is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge. Robert Greene   Self-awareness is a key to self-mastery Gretchen Rubin   We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Will Durant   If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. Bruce Lee   Ah, mastery... what a profoundly satisfying feeling when one finally gets on top of a new set of skills... and then sees the light under the new door those skills can open, even as another door is closing. G...

Life Is About the Set of the Sail

    Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change. Jim Rohn   We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future. Robin Sharma   Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced. James A. Baldwin   You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf. Jon Kabat-Zinn   You will never 'find' time for anything. If you want time, you must make it. Charles Buxton   Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter. Francis Chan   Go for it now. The future is promised to no one. Wayne Dyer   Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Neale Donald Walsch   Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. George Bernard Shaw  

Patience Is the Ultimate Power

    “Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” Ralph Waldo Emerson   “Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.” Randy Johnson   “Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” Leo Tolstoy   “All good things come to those who wait.” Paullina Simons   “The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.” Paulo Coelho   “And sure enough, even waiting will end...if you can just wait long enough.” William Faulkner   “Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principle...
