It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get back up. ~ Vince LombardiTweetShareSharePin
There are men whom a happy disposition, a strong desire of glory and esteem, inspire with the same love for justice and virtue which men in general have for riches and honors….But the number of these men is so small that I only mention them in honor of humanity. ~ Claude Adrien HelvetiusTweetShareSharePin
There are in fact four very different stumbling blocks in the way of grasping the truth… the example of weak and unworthy authority, longstanding custom, the feeling of the ignorant crowd, and the hiding of our own ignorance while making a display of our apparent knowledge. ~ Roger BaconTweetShareSharePin
A line runs from the meditations of the heart to the words of the mouth. The meditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouth utters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are the same. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding. ~ Richard MitchellTweetShareSharePin
