Quotes

One of many little things I collect is quotes. Some of them come with pictures, so I can stick them on my wall. I know people find inspirational quotes a bit annoying, some of them state the obvious etc blah blah blah.

I like them and they don't harm anyone, so any complaints address them to the complaints manager who as they say is definitely not bothered.

Here are some of the ones I have picked up:

"It is only as we develop others that we permanently succeed" - Harvey Samuel Firestone

If you haven't guessed he was the founder of the tyre and rubber company. He has a high school in Ohio named after him, like many other Americans.

Quite a simple quote really, its easier to achieve greatness yourself but to prolong and achieve lasting greatness you need to pass your experience and knowledge onto the next generation.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away." - Leonardo Di Vinci

Everyone should know who Leonardo was, he played the lead in "Titanic". Oops sorry wrong Leonardo, Da Vinci was Mr Renaissance man. He wrote his famous notebooks full of all his thoughts which this blog is a kind of homage to.

The quote itself is breath taking (Puntastic). I don't think it needs much explanation as it is one of those rare quotes that touches something in the human soul and speaks to us on another level from mere words and letters.

"It's so much friendly with two" - Pooh Bear (A. A Milne fictional character)

Given to me by an ex-girlfriend as one of those romantic little keep-sakes. It is right though most things are better when there are two of you. Humans are not really supposed to be alone, everyone needs somone.
