Vince Lombardi
● The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength , not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
● The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
● Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
Voltaire
● Weakness on both sides is, as we know, the motto of all quarrels.
● The secret of boring people lies in telling them everything.
● Originality is nothing but judicious imitation.
● Fear succeeds crime – it is its punishment.
● England has forty-two religions and only two sauces.
● What a heavy burden is a name that has become too famous.
● It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere.
● God is a circle whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere.
● If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
● The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.
● Whoever serves his country well has no need of ancestors.
● History is just the portrayal of crimes and misfortunes.
● We never live, but we are always in the expectation of living.
● When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.
● Men argue, nature acts.
● I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
● Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another. The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others and it becomes the property of all.
● We offer up prayers to God only because we have made Him after our own image. We treat Him like a Pasha, or a Sultan, who is capable of being exasperated and appeased. |
