I don't care how much power, brilliance or energy you have, if you don't harness it and focus it on a specific target, and hold it there you're never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants (We Quotes)
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily (We Quotes)
Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting - in the trying, not the triumph, success is a personal standard - reaching for the highest that is in us - becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have (We Quotes)
A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works (We Quotes)
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The hand entrusted with power becomes the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity (We Quotes)
Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment (We Quotes)
The labor movement means just this: it is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth (We Quotes)
To be as good as our fathers, we must be better. Imitation is not discipleship. When some one sent a cracked plate to China to have a set made, every piece in the new set had a crack in it (We Quotes)
What is fanaticism today is the fashionable creed tomorrow, and trite as the multiplication table a week after (We Quotes)
Take the whole range of imaginative literature, and we are all wholesale borrowers. In every matter that relates to invention, to use, or beauty or form, we are borrowers (We Quotes)
The reformer is careless of numbers, disregards popularity, and deals only with ideas, conscience, and common sense. He feels, with Copernicus, that as God waited long for an interpreter, so he can wait for his followers (We Quotes)
Brains and character rule the world. The most distinguished Frenchman of the last century said: men succeed less by their talents than their character. There were scores of men a hundred years ago who had more intellect than Washington. He outlives and overrides them all by the influence of his character (We Quotes)
Government is only a necessary evil, like other go-carts and crutches. Our need of it shows exactly how far we are still children. All governing overmuch kills the self-help and energy of the governed (We Quotes)
How prudently we proud men compete for nameless graves, while now and then some starveling of late forgets himself into immortality (We Quotes)
The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make (We Quotes)
If all people are unique, and if they are constantly changing each and every day, then all one can say about any social research finding is that it applied to that group of people on that given day, and given the propensity of humans to be different and to change, then it is unlikely that one would get the same results if one were to repeat the study (We Quotes)
Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached to needing it (We Quotes)
There is a big difference between thinking: I'm in a relationship and something's wrong. Therefore something must be wrong with the relationship. And thinking I'm in a relationship and we've got problems. This is evidence that you are different than me (We Quotes)
O thrush, your song is passing sweet but never a song that you have sung, is half so sweet as thrushes sang when my dear love and I were young (We Quotes)
Our royalty is to be reverenced, and if you begin to poke about it you cannot reverence it.... Its mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic (We Quotes)
A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilisation; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment (We Quotes)
Slayer of the winter, art thou here again? O welcome, thou that bring'st the summer nigh! The bitter wind makes not thy victory vain, nor will we mock thee for thy faint blue sky (We Quotes)
No man has come so near our definition of a constitutional statesman - the powers of a first-rate man and the creed of a second-rate man (We Quotes)
The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economised by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null (We Quotes)
The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards (We Quotes)
A bureaucracy is sure to think that its duty is to augment official power, official business, or official members, rather than to leave free the energies of mankind; it overdoes the quantity of government, as well as impairs its quality. The truth is, that a skilled bureaucracy is, though it boasts of an appearance of science, quite inconsistent with the true principles of the art of business (We Quotes)
The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economized by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null (We Quotes)
There is no life so humble that, if it be true and genuinely human and obedient to God, it may not hope to shed some of his light. There is no life so meager that the greatest and wisest of us can afford to despise it. We cannot know at what moment it may flash forth with the life of God (We Quotes)
Go and try to save a soul, and you will see how well it is worth saving, how capable it is of the most complete salvation. Not by pondering about it, nor by talking of it, but by saving it, you learn its preciousness (We Quotes)
If we look closely at this Earth, where God seems so utterly forgotten, we shall find that it is he, after all, who commands the most fidelity and the most love (We Quotes)
