- If you want to do a thing well done do it yourself.
- Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Humorist and writer
To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken, because the
greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has
nothing, and is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn,
feel, change, grow, live, or love. Chained by his addictions, he's a slave. He has
forfeited his greatest trait, and that is his individual freedom. Only the person who
risks is free.
On Ideas
The problem is never how to get new,
innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out.
Dee Hock
Founder, Visa
A new idea is delicate. It can be killed
by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip, and worried to death by a
frown on the right man's brow.
Charlie Brower
On Motivation
People who wait for something to turn up
might start with their own shirtsleeves.
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Walter Bagehot (1826-1877)
Journalist and economist
On Excitement
It is a mark of intelligence, no matter what
you are doing, to have a good time doing it.
The happiest excitement in life is
to be convinced that one is fighting for all one is worth on behalf of some clearly seen
and deeply felt good.
Ruth Benedict (1887-1948)
Anthropologist
