Sai BabaVictims always feel alone and helpless.
Deepak ChopraYou are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
E. O. WilsonWe are not to give credit to the many who say that none ought to be educated but the free, but rather to the philosophers who say that the well-educated alone are free.
EpictetusThe courage to face the trials and to bring... possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience that is the hero's deed. We have only to follow the heros path and where we had thought to find abomination we shall find a God. And where we had thought to slay another we shall slay ourselves... Where we had thought to travel outward we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone we will be with all the world.
Joseph CampbellSuccess comes when people act together, failure tends to happen alone.
Deepak ChopraEveryday the mail brings the thousands of letters and you hand over to Me personally hundreds more. Yet I do not take the help of anyone else even to open the envelopes. For you write to me intimate details of your personal problems believing that I alone will read them and having implicit confidence in Me. You write each one only a single letter that makes for Me a huge bundle a day, and I have to go through all of them. You may ask how I manage it? Well I do not waste a single moment.
Sai BabaDo not worry about anything. Place yourself fully at His disposal He knows. He has written the Play and He knows how it will end and how it will go on. Yours is but to act and retire. The Lord alone is aware of the Play for His is the Plan! You see only the part of the Play on the stage and so it is all very confused. When the entire story is unfolded then you will appreciate His plan not until then, for that you will have to get behind the screen of Maya and contact the Director Himself.
Sai BabaI am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable I tolerate them, if I find them too obnoxious I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
Robert A. HeinleinThere's a tremendous difference between alone and lonely. You could be lonely in a group of people. I like being alone. I like eating by myself. I go home at night and just watch a movie or hang out with my dog. I have to exert myself and really say oh God I've got to see my friends 'cause I'm too content being by myself.
Drew BarrymoreNothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not, the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
