“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs
And men should know that from nothing else but from the brain come joys, laughter and jests, and sorrows, grief, despondency and lamentations. And by this … we acquire wisdom and knowledge, and we see and hear and know what are foul and what are fair, what sweet and what unsavory… and by the same organ we become mad and delirious, and fears and terrors assail us.
Hippocrates
“All great men were great workers, untiring not only in invention but also in rejecting, sifting, reforming, arranging.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
“The end of a melody is not its goal.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years wasted on, nothing ever did unless I caused it.”
Charles Bukowski
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less.”
Marie Curie
“There is no man living who isn’t capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.”
Henry Ford
“Thinking is difficult, that’s why people prefer to judge.”
Carl Jung
“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Genius too does nothing but learn first how to lay bricks then how to build, and continually seek for material and continually form itself around it. Every activity of man is amazingly complicated, not only that of the genius: but none is a miracle.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. Even if one were to walk for one’s health and it were constantly one station ahead—I would still say: Walk!
Besides, it is also apparent that in walking one constantly gets as close to well-being as possible, even if one does not quite reach it—but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Health and salvation can be found only in motion… if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
Søren Kierkegaard
“No one enjoys feeling foolish, but attempting something new requires that you climb down from your perch and struggle as a beginner. You must ask questions that reveal your ignorance or attempt skills that make you look uncoordinated.
Learning demands the willingness to live in a brief state of discomfort. You must believe that looking like a fool for an hour will not ruin your reputation for life.”
James Clear
