Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Winners & Truth
|
Winners
- "It is not true that nice guys finish last. Nice guys are winners before the game ever starts."
- Addison Walker
- "The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better."
- Barbara Pletcher
- "Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along
the way and who will be sharing the adventure with them."
- Denis Waitley
Truth
- "The greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
- "Truth never hurts the teller."
- Robert Browning
- "Love of truth will bless the lover all his days; yet when he brings her home, his fair-faced bride, she comes empty-handed to his door, herself her only dower."
- Theodore Parker
- "Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few."
- Bishop Berkeley
- "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."
- Winston Churchill
- "Never chase a lie. Let it alone, and it will run itself to death."
- Lyman Beecher
- "Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
- "We tell lies when we are afraid, ... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger"
- Tad Williams, To Green Angel Tower
