Jack Kornfield  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

Jack Kornfield  Famous Quote

Jack Kornfield  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

Sue Bird  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

Experience helps you understand what works and what doesn’t. And (personally), I think it has more to do with just wanting to continue to learn on and off the ice. … Whether it’s, you know, skills on the ice or trying to learn how to be a better teammate, better leader, better friend, you name it.

Sidney Crosby  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

If we don’t come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. I don’t care if you like each other or not, but you will respect each other. And maybe … I don’t know, maybe we’ll learn to play this game like men.

Lia Thomas  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

When anyone is critical of what I do, I’m just motivated by it. If someone says we’re not good enough, then we just do better. If another tennis player says something negative, I say, “That girl will never beat me.” We feed off the criticism.

Venus Williams  Famous Quote

Why does everyone talk about the past? All that counts is tomorrow’s game.

Roberto Clemente  Famous Quote

Thomas Jefferson  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

You don’t have to announce, ‘you’re coming,’ just come. You don’t have to announce, ‘I’m next,’ just be next. You don’t have to scream, ‘give me my respect…’ you have to earn that.

Andre Ward  Famous Quote

There’s a monster that comes out of me in the ring. I think it goes back to the days when I had nothing. It’s hunger. I think that’s what the monster is and it’s still there.

Marvin Hagler  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

People find pleasure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.

Marcus Aurelius  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

Some things are rushing into existence, others out of it. Some of what now exists is already gone. Change and flux constantly remake the world, just as the incessant progression of time remakes eternity. We find ourselves in a river. Which of the things around us should we value when none of them can offer a firm foothold? Like an attachment to a sparrow: we glimpse it and it’s gone.

Marcus Aurelius  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

Start praying like this and you’ll see. Not “some way to sleep with her” - but a way to stop wanting to. Not “some way to get rid of him” - but a way to stop trying. Not “some way to save my child” - but a way to lose fear. Redirect your prayers like that, and watch what happens.

Marcus Aurelius  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

Then isn’t it better to do what’s up to you - like a free man - than to be passively controlled by what isn’t, like a slave or a beggar?

Marcus Aurelius  Famous Quote

added 2 years ago

But look at how soon we’re all forgotten. The abyss of endless time that swallows it all. The emptiness of all those applauding hands. The people who praise us - how capricious they are, how arbitrary. And the tiny region in which it all takes place. The whole earth a point in space - and most of it uninhabited.
