Some of my favorite quotes:
Yogi Berra: Anything and everything attributed to him. However, I've met the man and he doesn't say much so I'm a bit skeptical.
Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant: "My goal when I get up in the morning is to make one good thing happen every single day."
Lewis Carrol, Through the Looking Glass:
"There's no use trying," she said, "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!"
Jim Collins: "Great companies understand that the ultimate throttle on growth is one thing above all others: the right people."
Albert Einstein: "The problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."
Peter Francisco: "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got."
Michael Gerber: "Good business people aren't good because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more."
Forrest Gump, from the book, not the movie: "Don't be no ant-man. Ant-men have low horizons."
Paul Gustavson: "Organizations are perfectly designed for the results they achieve."
Groucho Marx: "Outside a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read."
Groucho Marx: "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
Christopher Morley: "Think, every day, something no one else is thinking."
Philosopher Thomas Morrisl: "A man once said to me that he had been told all his life there were three topics that should not be talked about in polite company: Religion, Sex, and Politics. He then went on to add that the older he got, the more he came to realize that these were the only things worth talking about."
Nike Ad: "Just do it!"
Anais Nin: "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are."
Satchel Paige: "Dream like you'll live forever, love like you've never been hurt, work like you don't need the money, and dance like nobody's watching!"
General George Patton: "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow."
Eleanor Roosevelt: "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
Dorothy Sayers, Creed or Chaos: "Work is the natural exercise and function of man...Work is not a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or should be…the thing in which we find spiritual, mental, and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which we offer ourselves to God...The secular vocation…is sacred...The church's approach to a carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours, and to come to church on Sundays. What the church should be telling him is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables...No crooked table legs or ill-fitted drawers ever came out of the carpenter's shop at Nazareth. Nor if they did could anyone believe that they were made by the same hand that made heaven and earth."
Lee Ann Womak, I Hope You Dance:
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
Let me know if I can help you get IT done!
