Random Quotes and Quotations
 We run away all the time to avoid coming face to face with ourselves.  Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory. When I use the word spirituality, I don't necessarily mean religion; I mean whatever it is that helps you feel connected to something that is larger than yourself. The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things. We do not believe until we want a thing and feel that we shall die if it is not granted to us, and then we kneel and believe. He who looks for advantage out of friendship strips it all of its nobility. Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands. I will show you fear in a handful of dust. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. Have more than thou showest, Speak less than thou knowest. I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings. Very strange is this quality of our human nature which decrees that unless we feel a future before us we do not live completely in the present. A great man stands on God. A small man stands on a great man. One only gets to the top rung of the ladder by steadily climbing up one at a time, and suddenly all sorts of powers, all sorts of abilities which you thought never belonged to you- suddenly become within your own possibility and you think, "Well, I'll have a go, too." Tact is the intelligence of the heart. All the great blessings of my life are present in my thoughts today. There is only one way to end a self-pity cycle: stop comparing yourself to others, and simply follow Christ. That is happiness: to be dissolved into something completely great. In great moments life seems neither right nor wrong, but something greater: it seems inevitable. Never desert your own line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.
