Amazing Quotations Page 5

Nothing tends in this respect so
much to enlarge the mind as traveling, i. e., making a
visit to other towns, cities, or countries, besides those in
which we were born and educated; and where our condition
of life does not grant us this privilege, we must
endeavor to supply the want of it by books.
--Isaac Watts, The Improvement of the Mind.

Talking over the things which you have read with
your companions on the first proper opportunity you
have for it, is a most useful manner of review or repetition,
in order to fix them upon the mind.
--Isaac Watts, The Improvement of the Mind.

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find
information upon it.
--James Boswell

In reading authors, when you find
Bright passages, that strike your mind,
And which, perhaps, you may have reason
To think on, at another season,
Be not contented with the sight,
But take them down in black and white;
Such a respect is wisely shown,
As makes another's sense one's own.
--Goerge Gordon Byron

Early knowledge is very valuable capital with which to set forth in life. It gives one an advantageous start. If
the possession of knowledge has a given value at fifty, it has a much greater value at twenty-five; for there is
the use of it for twenty-five of the most important years of your life; and it is worth more than a hundred per
cent interest. Indeed, who can estimate the interest of knowledge? Its price is above rubies.
--Edward Winslow

It was really neat to see some radical life changing going on.
--Dave Ramsey Show, Caller, September 7, 2007.

The most subtle of all temptations is the “seeming” success of the wicked. It requires moral courage to see, without flinching, material prosperity coming to men who are dishonest; to see politicians rise into prominence, power and wealth by trickery and corruption; to see virtue in rags and vice in velvets; to see ignorance at a premium, and knowledge at a discount. To the man who is really calm these puzzles of life do not appeal. He is living his life as best he can; he is not worrying about the problems of justice, whose solution must be left to Omniscience to solve.
--William George Jordan, The Majesty of Calmness

Drunkenness calls off the watchman from the towers; and then all the evils that proceed from a loose heart, an untied tongue, and a dissolute spirit, we put upon its account.

There are no judgments so harsh as those of the erring, the inexperienced, and the young.
--Miss Mulock

Do not hover always on the surface of things,
nor take up suddenly with mere appearances; but penetrate
into the depth of matters, as far as your time and
circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate
to your own profession. Do not indulge yourselves
to judge of things by the first glimpse, or a short and
superficial view of them; for this will fill the mind with
errors and prejudices, and give it a wrong turn and ill
habit of thinking, and make much work for retraction.
--Isaac Watts, The Improvement of the Mind.

Without leaders an organization would be little more than a group of people whose random individual actions would cancel each other out.
--Francis Hasselbein and Richard Cavanaugh. Be. Know. Do.

The law of the harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
--G.D. Boardman

Habit is the most imperious of all masters.
--Goethe

All limits are self imposed.
--Icarus

him, than to their perfections which please him.

To determine whether or not you have the ingredients to be charismatic, answer the following questions: What are your real feelings about who you are? What do you believe in? Do you have goals or a mission in life? Do you project optimism? Do others turn to you for leadership? Noncharismatic people spend their lives auditioning for others and hoping they'll be accepted. Charismatic people don't doubt their ability to add value to a situation, so they move forward with their mission.
--Roger Ailes, You Are the Message.
