He only profits from praise who values criticism. Heinrich Heine quotes The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated. Henry Louis Mencken quotes A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. Dwight David Eisenhower quotes Your true value depends entirely on what you are compared with. Bob Wells quotes One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community. Albert Einstein quotes Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering. Winnie the Pooh (By Milne) quotes Dying is an integral part of life, as natural and predictable as being born. But whereas birth is cause for celebration, death has become a dreaded and unspeakable issue to be avoided by every means possible in our modern society. Perhaps it is that in spite of all our technological advances. We may be able to delay it, but we cannot escape it. We, no less than other, nonrational animals, are destined to die at the end of our lives. And death strikes indiscriminately- it cares not at all for the status or position of the ones it chooses; everyone must die, whether rich or poor, famous or unknown. Even good deeds will not excues their doers from the sentence of death; the good die as often as the bad. It is perhaps this inevitable and unpredictable quality that makes death so frightening to many people. Especially those who put a high value on being in control of their own existance are offended by the though that they, too care subject to the forces of death. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross quotes Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy must have somebody to divide it with. Mark Twain quotes It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value. Arthur C. Clarke quotes Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. Albert Einstein quotes |
