Quote Hanger

This page is a collection of quotes, as and when I run into those:


  • I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. -  Henry David Thoreau
  • The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he is always doing both. - Lao Tzu
  • Change will leade to insight far more often than insight will lead to change. - Milton H Erickson
  • Irrelevance comes from always doing the things you know how to do in the way you've always done them. - Tom Peters
  • Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do - Benjamin Franklin
  • The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure - Henry David Thoreau
  • I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught - Winston Churchill
  • In preparing for battles I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable - Dwight D. Eisenhover

  • Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people - George Bernard Shaw


  • The difference between great and average or lousy in any job is, mostly, having the imagination and zeal to re-create yourself daily. - Tom Peters
  • It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. - G H Hardy
  • What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say - Ralph Waldo Emerson
