Quotes

Here is a collection of my favorite quotes.

• “Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.
  It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
  Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
  Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
  We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
  And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

  - in “Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson

   

• “It is not growing like a tree
  In bulk, doth make man better be,
  Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
  To fall a log at last, dry, bald and sere:
  A lily of a day,
  Is fairer far in May,
  Although it fall and die that night;
  It was the plant and flower of light.
  In small proportions we just beauties see,
  And in short measures, life may perfect be.”

  - Ben Johnson
  

• Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful, or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

  -the movie “A Walk to Remember(2002)”, (original source : The Bible)

• If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.

• “Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”

  - Muhammad Ali

• “Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round - remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.”

  - James Corbett

• DON’T QUIT

  When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
  When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
  When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
  And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
  When care is pressing you down a bit,
  Rest if you must, but don’t you quit!

  Life is queer with its twists and turns,
  As everyone of us sometimes learns,
  And many a failure has turned about,
  When they might have won had they stuck it out.
  Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
  You may succeed with another blow! ,

  Often the goal is nearer than
  It seems to a faint and faltering one,
  Often the struggler has given up
  When they might have captured the victor’s cup.
  And they learned too late, when the night slipped down,
  How close they were to the golden crown.

  Success is failure turned inside out,
  The silver tint to the clouds of doubt.
  And you never can tell how close you are,
  It may be near when it seems so far.
  So stick to the task when you’re hardest hit,
  It’s when things seem the worst, that you must not quit!

• Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.

  - Ernest Hemingway

• “Arise, Awake and STOP NOT till the goal is reached !”
