More Quotes about Belief
Categories:   Quotes on Belief
Denis Waitley
If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.


Jonathan Swift
The lack of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome.


Anthony Robbins
If you develop the absolute sense of certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then you can get yourself to accomplish virtually anything, including those things that other people are certain are impossible.


Norman Vincent Peale
First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, "I believe," three times.


John Stuart Mill
One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.


Walter Bagehot
Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.


Wally Amos
It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first attempt at it.


Norman Vincent Peale
Believe it is possible to solve your problem. Tremendous things happen to the believer. So believe the answer will come. It will.


Submitted by Fran Anne Briggs
It's not enough to learn; one must believe - then become.


Henry Christopher Bailey
In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.

The Comfort Zone
Categories:   Individual Inspirational Stories

The Comfort Zone.
By: Unknown

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busy work were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.
I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with things inside my zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile;
Success is there for you!

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Quotes from Booker T Washington
Categories:   Quotes by Booker T Washington

No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.

Character, not circumstances, makes the man.

Character is power.

Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

No race can prosper 'till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Perfections of means and confusion of goals seem-in my opinion-to characterize our age.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Quotes by Albert Einstein
Categories:   Quotes by Albert Einstein
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: His eyes are closed.

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.

A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.

Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it.
