Hard times don't build character. They reveal it.

Character is what you do when no one is looking.

There is no such thing as can't. Only won't.
I like that. Much better and more accurate than that usual clichéd saying about “hard times”, which is more than a bit fascistic. 🍻

I like brief quotes that encapsulate much wisdom in a few words. This world is full of too many folks that talk a great deal but say very little. On the other hand we have plenty of people that seem to be intently listening but truly hear very little. I suspect both groups suffer due to excessive human noise disguised as conversation.

I find that a short powerful phrase can be much more meaningful and thought provoking than an avalanche of words which carry no significance.

Tell me some of your favorite quotes-here is one of mine.

I always say, you heard everything I said, but didn't listen to a single word. Hearing is hearing, listening is hearing and understanding.

Luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

Lack of opportunity is usually nothing more than a lack of a sense of purpose or direction.

Don‘t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal; always do your best; and never ever give up.

As a less then energetic friend once said, never do today, that which can be put off until tomorrow.
