I found a text file that I had saved with a few quotes that have impacted me over the last few years. I get inspired by them, so I thought I would share them with the readers… I hope you enjoy them.
“If you wish to win a man over to your ideas, first make him your friend.” -Abraham Lincoln
“The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.” -William James
“Success is more of a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius.” -An Wang
“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” -Warren Buffett
“Consider what can be done in ten minutes. If you need a little mental relaxation, you can sit down with a friend and play a game of cards. If you need physical recreation, you can engage in a few exercises that will help tone up your body. Learn to use ten minutes intelligently. It will pay you huge dividends.” -William A. Irwin
“The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.” -Frank Lloyd Wright
