Love the thread. Interesting on the Winston Churchill Harrow quote is that the person who introduced him basicly was attempting to rip churchill off due to his poor academic performance whilst at harrow. He certainly showed him when he recieved that Thunderous applause. A true man of Dignity.

The below quote is attributed to Christ in the Gnostic gospel of Thomas. I’m struck by how it resonates with core concepts in Jungian psychology.
"If you bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is inside you, what you don't bring forth will destroy you." ~ Jesus Christ (Book of Thomas)
"If you bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don't bring forth what is inside you, what you don't bring forth will destroy you." ~ Jesus Christ (Book of Thomas)
One of my favorites, words to live by.
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you're hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" - Rocky Balboa

One of my favorite quotes of all time is from 1917 after then-Vice President Thomas Marshall stated "what this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar". Prominent newspaper columnist Franklin P. Adams said in response:
"There are plenty of good five-cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter. What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel."
"There are plenty of good five-cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter. What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel."
Principles Of Life
Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is.
You would achieve more, if you don't mind who gets the credit.
When everything else is lost, the future still remains.
Don't fight too much or the enemy will know your art of war.
The only job you start at the top is when you dig a grave.
If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything.
If you do little things well, you'll do big ones better.
Only thing that comes to you without effort is old age.
You won't get a second chance to make a first impression.
Only those who do nothing do not make mistakes.
Never take a problem to your boss unless you have a solution.
If you are not failing, you're not taking enough risks.
Don't try to get rid of your bad temper by losing it.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Those who don't make mistakes usually don't make anything.
There are two kinds of failures: Those who think and never do, and those who do and never think.
Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
All progress has resulted from unpopular decisions.
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Understanding proves intelligence, not the speed of the learning.
There are two kinds of fools in this world.: Those who give advice and those who don't take it.
The best way to kill an idea is to take it to a meeting.
Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things.
Friendship founded on business is always better than business founded on friendship.
