Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt [via johannal] (via quote-book)
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)
You are defined by the way in which you treat the people you love. And, the people you hate.
It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like “What about lunch?
A.A. Milne (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)
Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.
Og Mandino (via calidre) (via quote-book)
