Parson's Pick of Points to Ponder

Parson · #1 10-31-2007, 12:41 PM

Hi All!

If you have some notable thought provoking quotes, please share!!

Here are some of my favorites.

In order to go higher, one must overcome greater resistence.

If the lack of purpose has killed its thousands, the lack of prepreation has killed its tens of thousands.

Everyone stands under the same sky--but each has different horizons.

Amongst mortals, there is no greater teacher than failure.

Failure tests one's metal; Success tests one's soul.

Of all the wars ever fought, no greater battle was ever waged than than the one for your mind.

No one can change bitter to better until you get I out of the way.

There are five seasons: Spring, Summer, Autum, Winter..............and the Convenient Season...the one that every one waits upont to get something done

He who lives in the past robs himself of peace in his present, and hope for his future.

One can learn much from the turtle (and the hare)
a) You cannot go anywhere until you stick your neck out.
b) It is never wise to compare yourself with others
c) It is not how your run the race, but how you finish that matters.

I look foward to hearing your PARTICULAR POINTS TO PONDER.

Blessings

Parson

Give a man everything he wants, and at that very moment everything is no longer everything.

If you can't have what you want, want what you've got.

Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair.

When you stumble...make it part of the dance!

I don't know how thought provoking it is, but one of my favorite uplifting quotes (I actually have it on the wall beside my desk) is a Winston Churchill quote, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts".

Winston Churchill ALWAYS gives great quotes.

One of his speeches given to a graduating class was this...

NEVER GIVE UP.

and that was it.

You never fail if you learn from the experience.
