Great Minds Great Thoughts....

A few thoughts that struck me in recent times and a few that have for a long time :)....

Herodotus:
Some give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than ever before.

Louis Pasteur:
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.
Marian Wright Edelman:
You're not obligated to win. You're obligated to keep trying to do the best you can every day.

Ovid:
Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish.


Thomas Alva Edison:
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Joan of Arc:
One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

Joan of Arc :
I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

Charles Spurgeon :
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
