In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.

It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too.

“Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else that thinks at least as logically as it does.” 

“It can be very dangerous to see things from somebody else's point of view without the proper training.” 

“My thinking is first and last and always for the sake of my doing.” 

“Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.” 

“Damn the Absolute!” 

Not failure, but low aim, is a crime.

Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.

No garden ismotiv without its weeds.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.

Don’t think of it as failure. Think of it as time-released success.

There is no such thing as failure, only results.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.

“I’m no wizard, and I don’t like being thought of in that light at all. I think of a wizard as being some sort of magician or something, doing something on the sly or something, and I don’t want to be thought of in that way.”

“When you hurry you’re more apt to make mistakes. But you have to be quick. If you’re not quick you can’t get things done.”

“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

“Don’t let making a living prevent you from making a life.”

“You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”

“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.”

If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other

The poor are great! The poor are wonderful! The poor are very generous! They give us much more than what we give them
