O.k. Marathon post:
These are from "The Power of One" by Bryce Courtney. Fantastic novel. Read it. =):
"Where there's life, there's hope."
"The power of one...in each of us there burns a flame of independence that must never be allowed to go out...as long as it exists within us we cannot be destroyed."
"What's the use, you can't go arguing with a chicken can you?"
"I have found in life that everything, no matter how bad, comes to an end."
"Sometimes the slightest things change the directions of our lives, the merest breath of a circumstance, a random moment that connects like a meteorite striking the earth. Lives have swiveled and changed direction on the strength of a chance remark."
"Small can beat big if you have a plan."
"First with the head and then with the heart, that's how a man stays ahead from the start."
"Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it."
"Sometimes we live a lifetime in two days."
"Everything fits. Nothing is unexplained. Nature is a chain reaction. One thing follows the other, everything is dependent on something else. The smallest is as important as the largest."
"Always listen to yourself. It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention. If you are wrong, no matter, you have learned something and you will grow stronger. If you are right, you have taken another step toward a fulfilling life."
"The more you know, the more you can control your destiny."
"A man is only free when he is free in his heart."
"The mystery is more important than any possible explanation."
"God is in nobody's pocket."
"Mystery, not logic, is what gives us hope and keeps us believing in a force greater than our own insignificance."
O.k. I just looked at my copy of Walden....wayyyyy too many quotations to put in here. hee hee...I also found Shackleton's Way. Very leadership oriented. If you need more quotations...go there! =)
