1. Jim Kwik on changing yourself rst

If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside

force, life begins. Great things always begin from the inside.
Jim Kwik

If you want to a ect great changes in the world, you must rst change yourself.
Without the willingness to become a little better each day, no real progress can be
made. Those who seek to change the world around themselves without changing
within may not succeed in their undertakings.

At the same time, true greatness cannot be awarded by something external, it has
to be accomplished by yourself. This also means that we seldom can force others to
live to their full potential. Instead, what it takes is the right encouragement that
helps these people to ignite the re within by themselves.

In order to make the world a better place, we must rst encourage others to change
their inner lives. This is the only way that true change can be a ected.

2. Stephen Furtick on insecurity

The reason why we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our

behind the scenes with everyone elses highlight reel.
Stephen Furtick

This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website. More info. Got it!
Comparisons are almost always unjust. The reason for this is that we lack the right
metrics while not being too fair with ourselves. What we usually do when we
compare ourselves to others, is that we compare our own weaknesses with those
who excel in these areas.

Instead of continuously comparing yourself to others, compare your own progress

in life. The only one you can fairly compare yourself with is your former self. If you
do make progress and if you continue growing as a person, you are successful.
Always remember that your own successes in life are simply too unique for
comparison.

3. Michelangelo on aiming high

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we
miss it but that it is too low and we reach it.
Michelangelo

It can be dangerous to set yourself aims that cannot possibly be accomplished. If

you do so, you will only set yourself up for discouragement. At the same time, if
you aim too low, if you only reach for the lower hanging fruit, you will never make
any progress in life.

If you dont have the courage to aim high you will never accomplish something of
importance.

4. Will Rogers on wasting money

Too many people buy things they dont need with money they dont have
to impress people they dont like.
Dave Ramsey

Sometimes, it can be greatly helpful to take a step back and re ect how you spend
your money. In many cases, you will nd that you dont actually need many of the
things you have bought. At the same time, you may realize that you bought many
things not because they add value to your life, but simply because you wanted to
impress others with your possessions.

Living a simpli ed life can help you in not only spending your money on more
meaningful things that actually add something to your life but also in becoming
less dependent on other peoples opinion.

5. Steve Jobs on loving what you do

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent
found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle. As with all matters of the heart,
youll know when you nd it.
Steve Jobs

True greatness can only be accomplished if you fully immerse yourself with that
which you are doing. This, however, can be incredibly di cult if you hate what you
do. In order to excel in life, you need to love what you do.

6. Tony Robbins on the importance of taking action

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you
are still way ahead of everyone who isnt trying.
Tony Robbins

When was the last time you did not pursue a given opportunity for fear of failure?
It happens more often than you might realize. Your fear paralyzes you and holds
you back from accomplishing great things in your life. It limits you and prevents
you from making progress.

For this reason, it is important to realize that it is much worse not to try than to
fail occasionally. Its also important to understand that failure is not permanent.
Regret, however, lasts a lifetime. And it can be much more painful in the long run
than a couple of defeats here and there.

If you do fail, use the experiences you make in order to grow stronger. Your
mistakes and failures will greatly help you to make progress in life. There will come
a time when you will realize that all these painful experiences aided you in
becoming who you are now.

7. Voltaire on responsibility

No snow ake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

Voltaire

History has shown time and time again how important it is to continuously re ect
your own actions. Evil empires rose and committed their horrendous crimes
because thousands or millions of individuals did not question their behaviors. One
might participate in these actions without feeling responsible for the overall result.
However, most of these crimes can only be committed when many individuals
unquestioningly participate in the activities of the collective.

8. Abraham Lincoln on destroying your enemies

Have I not destroyed my enemy when I have made him into my friend?
Abraham Lincoln

The easiest way to avoid unnecessary con ict is to get to know and perhaps even to
befriend your enemies. Doing so will help you to realize that they are just like you.
That they have similar dreams about their lives and that they care as much about
their families as you care about yours.

9. Edwin Louis Cole on moving on

You dont drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Edwin Louis Cole

Just because you occasionally fall to the ground does not mean that you are
defeated for eternity. However, if you dont get back up, life will keep pushing you
to the ground. It is, therefore, absolutely important to confront the problems you
are facing. Get back up on your feet and ght back against whatever is holding you
down. Take an active approach to life and dont allow setbacks to discourage you
from the pursuit of your dreams.

10. Ed Begley on vandalism

I dont understand why when we destroy something created by man we

call it vandalism, but when we destroy something created by nature we call
it progress.
Ed Begley, Jr.

Ed Begleys statement is incredibly thought-provoking. It really makes you think
about the way we di erentiate between human property and something that was
created naturally. But shouldnt we care for nature just as much as we care about
what belongs to us?

11. Buddha on happiness

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of
the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being
shared.
Buddha

The beauty about happiness is that it is an unlimited resource. You dont lose your
happiness by sharing it with other people. Quite the contrary, you may even get a
lot happier by sharing your happiness with other people. Just as the re of a single
candle can ignite a thousand others without ever dimming, so can you share your
happiness without ever losing it.

12. Tyrone Edwards on prejudices

Prejudices are rarely overcome by argument; not being founded in reason

they cannot be destroyed by logic.
Tryon Edwards

George Carlin famously said that it is a waste of time to argue with an idiot. He said
that this is because idiots will drag you down to their own level, where they can
easily beat you with experience. Its a fantastic statement that adds to Tyrone
Edwards wonderful insight about prejudice.

Lets face it, it is almost impossible to encourage people to overcome prejudices, as
they are seldom founded in logic.

13. Friedrich Nietzsche on stubbornness

Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit
of the goal.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Its not enough to have a goal, to create a strategy and to pursue this strategy with
the greatest determination. It is a sign of stubbornness if youre unwilling to leave
the path you have chosen, even if you clearly realize that it wont lead you to your
goals. What is instead necessary is that you frequently adapt the path you take in
order to make sure that it is still leading you to your goals.

14. William Shedd on playing things safe

A ship is safe in harbor, but thats not what ships are for.
William G.T. Shedd

True accomplishments can only be made if you are willing to risk something. If you
always stay in your safe harbor, you will never explore the wonders of the world.
Only those who are willing to take risks will gain something more.

15. George Bernard Shaw about creating your purpose in life

Life isnt about nding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

George Bernard Shaw

Many people struggle greatly to nd their purpose in life. However, having a

purpose in life is not always about nding it. It is all about proactively creating that
purpose. You have to give your life a purpose, otherwise, it may be incredibly
di cult to ever nd your true purpose in life. The same holds true for nding
yourself. You can search all you want, but only when you start creating yourself
change happens.

16. Napoleon Bonaparte on dealing with your enemies

Never interfere with your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Napoleon Bonaparte

This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website. More info. Got it!
As you progress in life, you will nd that your enemies when not stop you from
committing mistakes. It is only those people who really love you for who you are
that will give their best to prevent you from making really stupid mistakes.
Knowing this fact can greatly help you to identify those people who do actually care
about you and those who do not.

At the same time, many battles in life can be avoided by realizing that many people
are eventually their own worst enemy. They will stand in their own way and
sabotage their own progress. This means that there is no need to waste your
precious time on them. Unjust people will eventually take care of themselves.

17. Adrian Corday on happiness from within

Happiness is not determined by whats happening around you, but rather

whats happening inside you. Most people depend on others to gain
happiness, but the truth is, it always comes from within.
Adrian Corday

18. Jonathan Huie on forgiving others

Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you
deserve peace.
Jonathan Lockwood Huie

If you hold on to anger, the hatred within will eventually burn you. Letting go and
forgiveness are therefore important elements for your recovery. Only by accepting
what happened and by forgiving others you can ndinner peace.

19. Arthur C. Clarke on pondering the possibilities

Sometimes I think were alone in the universe, and sometimes I think

were not. In either case, the idea is quite staggering.
Arthur C. Clarke

The question if extraterrestrial life exists can make you think for hours. And it is
not so important to nd the de nite answer to your question. All that matters is to
ponder about the possibilities. It may quite be possible that we are entirely alone in
this universe. At the same time, there could be other planets in galaxies far away
that are populated with microbes and bacteria or even intelligent life. One never
knows.

20. Antoine de Saint-Exupery on leadership

 If you want to build a ship, dont drum up the men to gather wood, divide
the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and
endless sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Good leaders dont just tell their followers what to do. They will rst ignite that
spark of passion, the yearning for a better world, within their followers. Without
this inner re, nothing great can ever be accomplished.

21. Maya Angelou on making others feel good

Ive learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what
you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou

Its not so much what we do and say that leaves an impression on other people. Its
how we make other people feel that matters.

22. Isaac Asimov on knowledge without wisdom

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge
faster than society gathers wisdom.
Isaac Asimov

Knowledge without wisdom can be quite dangerous. While our society progresses,
we gather more and more knowledge about the world we are living in. However, if
we apply this knowledge unwisely, great destruction and su ering can be the
consequence. Just think about what the knowledge about the atom and how it can
be split resulted in (the atomic bomb).

23. Lao Tzu on tackling problems one step at a time

Do the di cult things while they are easy and do the great things while
they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single
step.
Lao Tzu

If you choose to ignore a certain problem in your life, it will gradually grow ever
more daunting. You can avoid this from happening by tackling your issues as soon
as they show up. That way you will almost always deal with small or minor
problems that have not yet developed into big catastrophes.

24. Charles Swindoll on how we react to what happens

Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it.
Charles R. Swindoll

If you live by Charles Swindolls statement, it is no longer so important what

happens to you in life. All that matters is how you react to the circumstances of
your life. You may be confronted with great challenges and di culties. But if you
do not allow these setbacks to break you, they cannot cause you any long-term
harm.

25. Diogenes on originality

One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings.

Diogenes

People keep parroting other peoples statements, often without even thinking. They
accept other peoples truths and insights about life without questioning them.

26. Mary Engelbreit dealing with what you dont like

If you dont like something, change it. If you cant change it, change the
way you think about it.
Mary Engelbreit

There are certain things in life you simply cannot change. Youre not able to change
where you grew up and how you look like. Similarly, you cannot change many
external circumstances of your life. The great mistake many people make is that
they allow these aspects of their lives to drag them down. They feel painfully
miserable about certain elements of their lives, feeling hopeless because they
cannot e ect any kind of change.

When youre confronted with unchangeable facts, it is important to understand

that you can still change the way you think about these aspects. You can allow
these things to make you feel miserable and to stop you from pursuing your
dreams. But you can also accept these elements of your life as given and make the
best of your life despite these things.

Carl Sagans fantastic books alone can make you think for hours. Whether or not
the cosmos is experiencing life through us remains open for discussion.

28. Voltaire on witty statements

A witty saying proves nothing.

Voltaire

Oh, the irony.

29. Samuel Johnson on treating others

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him
absolutely no good.
Samuel Johnson

You surely have come across people in your life that treated you badly simply
because you had nothing to o er. Dont allow these people to drag you down.
Instead, be grateful that they have shown you who they really are. If you were in a
position that these people could bene t from, they would not have hesitated to
atter you in order to get what they want. These are the people to stay away from.

You can also learn quite a number of things about people by closely observing how
they treat those who stand below them in the hierarchy. Only people of true
character and integrity will treat those of lesser status just as they treat their
superiors and those above them.

30. Muhammad Ali on counting minutes hurts

I dont count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. That
is when I start counting, because then it really counts. Thats what makes
you a champion.
Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Alis statement is not only fantastic but those who exercise. It is also a
valuable lesson for life.

31. George Shaw on making mistakes

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful
than a life spent doing nothing.
George Bernard Shaw

If you have the courage to make mistakes you will eventually fail. There will be
people pointing their ngers at you, some might even laugh about your mistakes.
But you will always know that in the end, you will learn far more valuable lessons
about life than those who are only spectators.

32. Albert Einstein on explaining things simply

If you cant explain it simply, you dont understand it well enough

Albert Einstein

Using elaborate words is not always a sign of intelligence. It is simply proof that a
person spent some time learning complex and almost incomprehensible words. A
true sign of intelligence is when you are able to explain complex subjects with
easy-to-understand words.

33. George Shaw on adaption to the world

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw

No one really likes to hear it, but progress is more often than not initiated by those
who did not accept the way things were.

34. Ziad Abdelnour on feeding superior to others

There isnt anything noble about being superior to another person. True
nobility is in being superior to the person you once were.
Ziad K. Abdelnour

People strive to become better than others, to exceed other peoples

accomplishments in life. However, theres nothing to gain for you by feeling
superior to others. All that matters is to become a little better than you were
yesterday. There are many people who are superior to others in terms of fame,
material possessions, status and wealth. But not all of them really made any
signi cant progress in their lifetime. They always remained who they are and
struggled with the same issues they have always struggled with.

35. Bertrand Russell on inner conviction

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the
intelligent are full of doubt.

 Bertrand Russell

Dont you think that the world could be greatly changed if the stupid were a little
more honest with themselves about their abilities and the intelligent a little more

36. Kalu Kalu on creating your legacy

The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things
you do for others remain as your legacy.
Kalu Ndukwe Kalu

No one in this world will remember you for driving a shiny sports car or owning a
huge house. The fact that these things were in your possession will be forgotten
quickly after youre gone. The only thing that remains of you are the sel ess acts
you did during your lifetime.

37. The Dalai Lama on the pursuit of money

[Man] sacri ces his health in order to make money. Then he sacri ces
money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future
that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in
the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then
dies having never really lived.
The Dalai Lama

The pursuit of money can absolutely ruin a persons life. If you sacri ce too much
in order to be one day rich beyond belief, you may eventually come to regret it. For
this reason, it is important to nd the right balance between money, happiness,
career and private life. If you are able to balance all these factors, you can lead a far
more meaningful existence than those who make great sacri ces just to have a
little more money.

38. Socrates on true wisdom

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know
nothing.
Socrates

If you go about your life with the attitude that you already know everything there is
to know, you may greatly limit your progress. Only by discovering ever more about
life you will realize how little you knew in the beginning. The wisest people in life

realize that they still dont know anything.

39. Henry Ford on having faith in yourself

Whether you think you can, or you think you cant either way youre
right.
Henry Ford

The way you think can greatly shape your destiny. Positive thinking allows you to
tackle challenging tasks with the attitude that is necessary to overcome every
obstacle in your way.

40. Socrates on worldly pleasures

People who take the sun-lit world of the senses to be good and real are
living pitifully in a den of evil and ignorance.
Socrates

It is the realization that your desires can never be fully satis ed that can help you
to set yourself free. Socratess statement highlights that there are far greater
things to life than seeking to ful ll worldly pleasures.

41. Chinese wisdom on asking questions

He who asks a question remains a fool for ve minutes. He who does not
ask remains a fool forever.
Chinese proverb

There are no stupid questions. Only stupid answers.

42. Helen Exley on the power of books

Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled This could
change your life.
Helen Exley

Good books have the brilliant characteristic that they can profoundly change the
way you think. Watching television and sur ng the Internet may be quite inspiring
at times, but nothing can e ect such great changes in your life than reading a
brilliant book.

43. Bill Watterson on learning new things

At school, new ideas are thrust at you every day. Out in the world, youll
have to nd your inner motivation to seek for new ideas on your own.
Bill Watterson

Unfortunately, many people give up learning as soon as they leave school.

Similarly, they also stop exploring new ideas and opportunities. They become
content with the familiar and are no longer willing to make progress in their life.

44. Dwight Eisenhower on spending money for warfare

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket red,
signi es in the nal sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,
those who are cold and are not clothed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

With every bomb that is launched, hundreds of people could be fed for days. If
governments would stop to engage in unnecessary warfare, this world would not
only be a better place but many in it could be fed and clothed.

45. Greek proverb on sel essness

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know
they shall never sit in.
Greek Proverb

If the people in a society are sel ess and care greatly about the well-being of
others, the whole society will thrive for decades. However, if we only care about
ourselves, unwilling to make life a little easier for future generations, the society
will eventually break apart.

46. Stephen Covey on correct listening

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people
listen with the intent to reply.
Steven R. Covey

Dont listen to reply. Listen to understand what is being said.

 If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.
Woody Allen

Having plans and goals in life is great. At the same time, it is similarly important to
remain exible so that you can make quick adjustments. Only a few strategies will
precisely work out as planned.

48. Polish proverb on being right

Even a clock that does not work is right twice a day.

Polish proverb

The Polish proverb expresses many di erent ideas. For one, it tells us that some
people are successful in life by sheer luck or chance. But it can also imply that even
incredibly ignorant and stupid people can sometimes be right about something.
This means for you that you shouldnt judge another persons statements based on
their status or intelligence. Instead, try to evaluate the plain statement and you will
nd whether or not it holds any truth to it.

49. Robert Frost on everything you need to know about life

In three words I can sum up everything Ive learned about life: it goes
on.
Robert Frost

No matter how tough life gets, always remind yourself that failure is not
permanent. Know that life will always go on and that the di culties youre
confronted with today will eventually be gone.

50. Tom Hiddleston on how villains see themselves

Every villain is a hero in his own mind.

Tom Hiddleston

There are some people who do evil things for no good reason. However, there are
also people who are deeply convinced that they are doing the right thing, even
when their actions are horrible and cruel.

Tom Hiddlestons statement reminds us to always re ect our motives and beliefs.
He encourages us to critically think about our actions and to question whether or
not it is justi ed what we do.

52. Leo Tolstoy on incomprehensible art

To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of

men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that
most people cant eat it.
Leo Tolstoy

This is so true. Tell this those people who are standing beside you and try to tell
you that you simply cannot appreciate the beauty of something for whatever
reason.

53. Ralph Waldo Emerson on being angry

For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

You get to decide if you want to be angry or happy. Its not possible to experience
both emotions at the same time. Choose wisely.

54. Brennan Manning on looking good

The temptation of the age is to look good without being good.

Brennan Manning

If people would care less about looking good and started trying to be good, this
world could be quickly transformed.

new things from all the people you meet, youll amass great knowledge.

57. Carl Gustav Jung on being in touch with your true self

Number 11 isnt actually a quote from Buddha.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the single candle will
not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

comes from the commentary of a Japanese book called, The Teachings of Buddha. It is based
on the passage from the Sutra of 42 sections, which reads as follows: 10. The Buddha said,
Those who rejoice in seeing others observe the Way will obtain great blessing. A Sramana
asked the Buddha, Would this blessing be destroyed? The Buddha replied, It is like a lighted
torch whose ame can be distributed to ever so many other torches which people may bring
along; and therewith they will cook food and dispel darkness, while the original torch itself
remains burning ever the same. It is even so with the bliss of the Way.
