Just Quotes [TMP #95]

Pt. 5

Hello to every new subscriber! I'm so glad you chose to read this. I hope you have a cozy time here :)

Also, today's my birthday, and so, in simplicity, here are a couple of quotes I found and liked.

But before that, this:

---

And now, let’s get it.

“Preceding accomplishment must be desire.

Thy desires must be strong and definite. General desires are but weak longings.

For a man to wish to be rich is of little purpose. For a man to desire five pieces of gold is a tangible desire which he can press to fulfilment."

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

—Eleanor Roosevelt (pretty popular, eh?)

‎

On handling doubts

“If you're in doubt about something that's not in your life, try it. Things are so different in practice versus in theory.... Err on the side of yes. If it was a mistake, at least you’ll know first-hand, instead of always wondering.

If you're in doubt about sth that's in your life already, get rid of it. Things, habits, goals, relationships, technology, and anything else.... Err on the side of no. If it was a mistake, you'll get it back with a renewed enthusiasm.”

An impressive book start:

"In physics, power is the rate of work per unit time. In geopolitics, it is the ability of one nation to influence the behaviour of other nations."

‎

There you go.
