Bryce Courtenay Quotes

Small can beat big, but you must have a plan Picture Quote #1

I tell myself lies and soon I believe them Picture Quote #1

The imagination is always the best torturer Picture Quote #1

It is better just to get on with the business of living and minding your own business and maybe, if God likes the way you do things, he may just let you flower for a day or a night. But don’t go pestering and begging and telling him all your stupid little sins, that way you will spoil his day Picture Quote #1

If you don’t know where you are going, then how will you get there? VISUALISE! Make pictures in your mind. See the desination. Imagine your arrival. Dream in perfect detail. See yourself the way you want to be when you arrive. See yourself arriving. Make yourself a road map and study it every day until you know the way and the destination by heart Picture Quote #1

Advertising seemed almost natural to me because it was a business where you had to inform, persuade and educate. And so from being a junior copywriter to being the creative director of one of the largest advertising agencies in the country took me 4.5 years, which is, well, a fairly spectacular rise Picture Quote #1

I was born illegitimately and almost immediately, as I understand it, placed in an orphanage. So my very earliest memories were in an orphanage. It was the tag end of the Great Depression when I was born. People were desperately poor Picture Quote #1

Advertising was only meant to be a very small part of my life. I had intended that I would work extensively in journalism for about five or six years and then I’d become a writer Picture Quote #1

The only thing I can say that is wonderful about my mother is she forced me to learn three verses of the Bible every day of my life, and I’ve read the Bible now five times and it taught me the English language Picture Quote #1

. . . besides love, independence of thought is the greatest gift an adult can give a child Picture Quote #1

Never take advice from a donkey Picture Quote #1

I have found in life that everything, no matter how bad, comes to an end Picture Quote #1

When men can be made to hope, then they can be made to win Picture Quote #1

Winning is a state of mind that embraces everything you do Picture Quote #1

... besides love, independence of thought is the greatest gift an adult can give a child Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the slightest things change the directions of our lives, the merest breath of a circumstance, a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth. Lives have swiveled and changed direction on the strength of a chance remark Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to be quick on your feet in this world if you want to survive. Though once you know the rules, it is not too hard to play the game Picture Quote #1

Let me conclude by saying in my experience the glittering prizes in life come more to those who persevere despite setback and disappointment than they do to the exceptionally gifted who, with the confidence of the talents bestowed upon them, often pursue the tasks leading to success with less determination Picture Quote #1

The power of one is above all things the power to believe in yourself, ofen well beyond any latent ability you may have previously demonstrated. The mind is the athlete, the body is simply the means it uses to run faster or longer, jump higher, shoot straighter, kick better, swim harder, hit further, or box better Picture Quote #1

Good conversational debate is an end in itself, and talking for the love of conversation is what makes us human Picture Quote #1

Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it Picture Quote #1

What is a german? to say a man is a german, what is that? does it tell you if he is a good man? or a bad man? no, my friend, it tells you nothing about a man to say he is german. a man must think what he is inside. what he is on the outside, how can this matter? Picture Quote #1
