Today is the birthday of the following people:
John Wooden (1910 - 2010):
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
and
“If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”
and
“Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it.”
and
"Consider the rights of others before your own feelings and the feelings of others before your own rights."
Katherine Mansfield (1888 - 1923):
“Risk anything! Care
no more for the opinion of others ... Do the hardest thing on earth for you.
Act for yourself. Face the truth."
and
“The pleasure of all
reading is doubled when one lives with another who shares the same books.”
and
“I am treating you as
my friend, asking you to share my present minuses in the hope that I can ask
you to share my future plusses.”
and
“When we begin to take our failures non-seriously, it means
we are ceasing to be afraid of them.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969):
“Don't join the book
burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that
they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every
book...”
and
“Never waste a minute
thinking about people you don't like.”
and
“A sense of humor is
part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things
done.”
and
“No man is worth your
tears, but once you find one that is, he won't make you cry.”
e e cummings (1894 - 1962):
“It takes courage to
grow up and become who you really are.”
and
“To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its
best day and night to make you like
everybody else means
to fight the hardest battle
which any human being
can fight and never stop fighting.”
and
“The most wasted of
all days is one without laughter.”
Natalie Maines (1974 - ):
"It’s a sad sad story
when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she
ought to hate a perfect stranger"
