A Thread For Quotes by Dygeasy(m): 2:16pm On Jul 27, 2014 |
For a while now since I've been able to read, I have come across quite a handful of sharp one-lined insightful strings of words put together by famous people. I just thought I'd share a couple of those sentences that have made mutter "hmm" and made my nostrils expand in admiration. Impress your audience with the words the famous. The quotations are going to be grouped by subject and will be consistently updated. Feel free to add yours. 2 Likes |

ADVICE "It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations" WINSTON CHURCHILL "Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours."

Lennox Lewis Don't worry about the world ending today - it's already tomorrow in Australia. Steven Right Never pick a fight with an ugly person. They've got nothing to lose. Robbie Williams Start by saying no to requests. Then if you have to go to yes, okay. But if you start with yes, you can't go to no. Mildred Perlman If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence. Charles Bukowski Speak when you're angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. Ambrose Bierce Vote for the man who promises least. He'll be the least disappointing. Jacques Barzum Always say no to drugs. It will drive the prices down. Jim Davidson 34 Likes |

AGE The secret of eternal youth is to lie about your age. Bob Hope At the age of 20 we don't care about what the world thinks of us. At 30 we worry about what it thinks.

And here are the top quotes from my biggest mentor and friend, a man whose words and teachings has really altered my way of thinking. He's no other person than Robert Kiyosaki - Money is just an idea. - Success is a poor teacher - It's not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most power. - In school we learn that mistakes are bad and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk. - I'd rather welcome change than cling to the past - The lack of money is the root of all evil - Workers work hard enough to not be fired, and owners pay just enough so that workers wont quit - The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth in what seems to be an instant. - Know a little about a lot. - There are those who make things, there are those who watch things happen and there are those who say what happened. 8 Likes |
