Quote of the Day - Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
“A Chart will never lie to you. The trick is not lying to yourself about what you see in it.”
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow - witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he has firmly persuaded that he know already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him.”
“Miracles, no matter how inexplicable or unbelievable, are real and can occur without regard to the natural order of things”
“Hold fast to dreams;
For if dreams die,
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow”
“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do something, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
“The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill. I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories. But if we get on the treadmill together, there’s two things: You’re getting off first, or I’m going to die. It’s really that simple, right?
You’re not going to out-work me. It’s such a simple, basic concept. The guy who is willing to hustle the most is going to be the guy that just gets that loose ball. The majority of people who aren’t getting the places they want or aren’t achieving the things that they want in this business is strictly based on hustle. It’s strictly based on being out-worked; it’s strictly based on missing crucial opportunities. I say all the time if you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.”
“Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch.”
“The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us”
“The important lesson to understand is that persistence is more important than knowledge. Knowledge can be obtained, but nothing great comes to those who quit.”
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery”
“Gold Is The Money Of Kings, Silver’s The Money Of Gentlemen, Barter is The Money Of da’ Poor & Debt Is The Money Of The Slave!”
“You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself.”
