Their quotes and my sayings

These are some really really 'awesome' quotes. Sure to inspire.
Great works are done when one is not calculating and thinking." Daisetz T. Suzuki

"Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make something happen." Lee Iacocca


"If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different." Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe


"An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise." William Dean Howells


You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." Woodrow Wilson


You must get good at one of two things;planting in the spring or begging in the fall. Jim Rohn

"It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it."

These quotes definitely inspire. Think practically, though. Inspirational talks, motivational speakers, life enrichment courses and whatnot....do they actually determine how we act and behave in daily life, for example, taking a decision? Yes, we all know that failure is the stepping stone to success, life is full of ups and downs, failure is a greater teacher than success, life should be meaningful and all that....but actually, how many of us feel that failure is God's gift? None of us do. Frankly speaking, all these quotes and proverbs momentarily inspire you, but which is the catalyst, always with you, emanating good energy? I guess its different for different people. 98% of them don't have catalysts, or they just take life as it comes. Whenever we are sad, or depressed, do these 'talks' actually help us? We just get over it in some time. Reading inspirational stuff for a very long time helps, like stocking armour and artillery before a war. Something like an anticipatory bail. The comparison is good, right? Its funny, but a lot, yeah, a lot of us read solace giving stuff, but when we are angry, poof! We fret and fume. Normal. One quote, just one quote is embedded deep into everyone's minds. Time is the healer.
