Quotes contributed by Jack
"They are the misfits, the crazy ones.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They are not fond of rules
and they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
The only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And some may see them as the crazy ones,
we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world
are the ones who do."

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there
is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come
his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has
genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." - Johann Wolfgang von
Goeth
"Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other
discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life
unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away
from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the
end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,
and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one
for him who has the vision to recognize it as such." - Henry Miller
SUCCESS
"To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson |
