Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after
tomorrow.

- Mark Twain

To fight fear, act. To increase fear - wait, put off, postpone.

- David Joseph Schwartz

My advice is, never do tomorrow what you can do today.
Procrastination is the thief of time. Collar him!

- Charles Dickens

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having
left undone.

- Pablo Picasso

If fear alters behavior, you're already defeated.

- Brenda Hammond


Rules are like flagpoles in a slalom race: you observe their
presence religiously, skirt around them as closely as possible
and never let them cut your speed.

- Katherine Neville


The most important things are the hardest to say, because
words diminish them.

- Stephen King

It is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear.

- E. H. Harriman

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

- Eleanor Roosevelt, 1884 - 1962

When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people:
those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and
those who wonder what happened.

- John M. Richardson, Jr

There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy
and tragedy, humor and hurt. And how do you know laughter
if there is no pain to compare it with?

- Erma Louise Bombeck

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what
he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

- Francis Bacon

Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those
who think.

- Jean de La Bruyère, 1645 - 1696

It’s hard enough to write a good drama, it’s much harder to
write a good comedy, and it’s hardest of all to write a drama
with comedy. Which is what life is.

- Jack Lemmon

To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes
time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To
think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to
invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for
trying again

- David Viscott

Studies indicate that the one quality all successful people
have is persistence. They're willing to spend more time
accomplishing a task and to persevere in the face of many
difficult odds. There's a very positive relationship between
people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're
willing to spend on it.

- Joyce Brothers

Life is a gamble at terrible odds; if it was a bet you wouldn't
take it.

- Tom Stoppard

If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win
without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will
be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment
when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and
only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse
case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory,
because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

- Winston Churchill

Never let the odds keep you from pursuing what you know in
your heart you were meant to do.

- Leroy "Satchel" Paige

It may be that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle
to the strong - but that's the way to bet.

- Damon Runyon

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like
a pauper.

- Adelle Davis


The breakfast of champions is not cereal, it's the opposition.

- Nick Seitz

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents - except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
- opening sentence of Paul Clifford (1830)

The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it.

When a person is down in the world, an ounce of help is better than a pound of preaching.

No author ever drew a character consistent to human nature, but he was forced to ascribe to it many inconsistencies.

There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth.

In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature the oldest.

- All from Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who
have only interests.

The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised
over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is
to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or
moral, is not a sufficient warrant.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is,
that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the
existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still
more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are
deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if
wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the
clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced
by its collision with error.

Solitude, in the sense of being often alone, is essential to any
depth of meditation or of character; and solitude in the presence
of natural beauty and grandeur, is the cradle of thought and
aspirations which are not only good for the individual, but which
society could ill do without.

There is no such thing as absolute certainty, but there is
assurance sufficient for the purpose of human life.

- All from John Stuart Mill

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it. Bitterness paralyzes
life; love empowers it. Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it.
Bitterness sickens life; love heals it. Bitterness blinds life; love
anoints its eyes.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by
mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could
comprehend it.

Hating people is like burning down your house to get rid of a rat.

- All from Harry Emerson Fosdick

순수한 현재라는 건 미래를 먹어가는, 과거의 붙잡기 어려운
진핸이다. 사실은, 모든 지각은 이미 기억이다.
