The more you talk about it, the more you think about it, the farther from it you go; Stop talking, stop thinking, and there is nothing you will not understand. -Seng-ts'an
It is the secret of the world that all things subsist, and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
You think you could do anything and you can't. There are always limits, even for very gifted people. It's very hard to accept but there is always an invisible ceiling above you and you should be very careful not to go above it. You should jump into the water but not without knowing how strong the current is. -Mikhail Baryshnikov
What is now proved was once only imagin'd. -William Blake
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. -Martha Graham
Posture reveals secrets. It is a revelation performed without plan or consciousness. Posture is politics, philosophy, the barometer of the moment and, to anyone who can read bodies, a clear message from deep inside. Your insides will out. It matters not how well you have mastered correct alignment; an unresolved tension makes 'correct' look like a straitjacket, an inner pain makes a beautiful back look fragile, and self-hatred makes an elegant line invisible. -Daniel Nagrin 
The moment one knows how, one begins to die a little. Living is a form of not being sure, of not knowing what next or how ...One leaps in the dark! -Agnes De Mille
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure . . . than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt
When I run out of red, I use green. -Pablo Picasso
Work is a mysterious thing; many of us claim to hate it, but it takes a grip on us that is so fierce that it captures emotions and loyalties we never knew were there. -Bob Greene
Begin to exercise your sense of truth by looking, first of all, for the good points. In studying another's work limit yourself to the role of a mirror and say honestly whether or not you believe in what you have seen and heard, and point out particularly the moments that were most convincing to you. -Constantin Stanislavski
In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman. -David M. Ogilvy 
I always think that in life there must be a goal, something you are working toward, not off somewhere in the future, in the distance, but something on the horizon, close enough that you can see it. -Alexandra Danilova
One of the sure paths to the real future (because there is also a false future) is to proceed in the direction of your fear. -Milorad Pavic
Being able to imitate expands your capacities when it's a deliberate, conscious act within the practice of your craft as an artist. Imitating unwittingly and believing you are making choices spontaneously when you aren't are actually steps toward becoming the clone of what you see and of your peers. -Daniel Nagrin
If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there the whole while, waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. -Joseph Campbell
'Tis to create, and in creating live; A being more intense, that we endow; With form or fancy, gaining as we give; The life we imagine, even as I do now. -Lord Byron
Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. -Lou Holtz
I have lived though countless storms at sea. Winds over one hundred miles an hour, swells reaching fifty feet. And when I thought I could not last another minute, the winds dropped off, the seas flattened, the blue sky appeared, and my quest was reached. -Robert D. Ballard
Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance. -Samuel Johnson
It takes time to build a corporate work of art. It takes time to build a life. And it takes time to develop and grow. So give yourself, your enterprise, and your family the time they deserve and the time they require. -Jim Rohn
Decide exactly what you want and resolve to persist, no matter what, until you achieve it. -Brian Tracy
In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with. -Brian Tracy 
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. -Og Mandino
My father taught me to always do more than you get paid for as an investment in your future. -Jim Rohn
Your success in your career will be in direct proportion to what you do after you've done what you are expected to do. -Brian Tracy |
