GREAT QUOTES OF BILL GATES

GREAT QUOTES OF BILL GATES

“I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths.

GREAT QUOTES OF STEVE JOBS

GREAT QUOTES OF STEVE JOBS

“Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice." [Stanford University commencement speech, 2005]” ― Steve Jobs

“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ― Steve Jobs

“One way to remember who you are is to remember who your heroes are.” ― Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

“Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.” ― Steve Jobs

“If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away. The more the outside world tries to reinforce an image of you, the harder it is to continue to be an artist, which is why a lot of times, artists have to say, “Bye. I have to go. I’m going crazy and I’m getting out of here.” And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little differently. (Steve Jobs)” ― Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

“Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.” ― Steve Jobs

“Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?” ― Steve Jobs

“If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it.” ― Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.” ― Steve Jobs

“The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.” ― Steve Jobs

GREAT QUOTES OF ROOSEVELT

GREAT QUOTES OF ROOSEVELT

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“Believe you can and you're halfway there.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

GREAT QUOTES OF MARGARET THATCHER

GREAT QUOTES OF MARGARET THATCHER

“In politics, If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“Don't follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's a day you've had everything to do and you've done it.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“If you just set out to be liked, you will be prepared to compromise on anything at anytime, and would achieve nothing. ” ― Margaret Thatcher

“I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine” ― Margaret Thatcher

“Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“I do not know anyone who has gotten to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but it will get you pretty near.” ― Margaret Thatcher

“To wear your heart on your sleeve isn't a very good plan; you should wear it inside, where it functions best.” ― Margaret Thatcher
