I have a Word document that I made five years ago to keep up with insightful or interesting quotes that I’ve come across. I have about six pages of quotes in there but here are a few of my favorites.


quote:

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
- Philosopher Will Durant (1926) – Quote adapted from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics

quote:

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
- John Adams to Massachusetts Militia, 11 October 1798

quote:

“Our intuitive theory seems to be: We want; we get; we are happy…
In reality, we often miswant.”
- Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert

quote:

“Some of the most talented people are terrible leaders because they have a crippling need to be loved by everyone”
– Businessman James Schorr

quote:

David’s last words to Solomon before he died:

“I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. So be strong, act like a man, and observe what the Lord your God requires…
Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go”
-1 Kings 2:2-3 (NIV)


What are some of yours?

Love some of Churchill's quotes

I may be drunk miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

I am an optimist. It does not seem to be much use being anything else.

A society where men may not speak their minds cannot long endure.

Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

“There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.” -Robert Jordan

“The difference between a non-suicide and an ex-suicide leaving the house for work, at eight o'clock on an ordinary morning:

The non-suicide is a little traveling suck of care, sucking care with him from the past and being sucked toward care in the future. His breath is high in his chest.

The ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. Since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. It is good to be alive. He goes to work because he doesn't have to.” -Walker Percy
