The thought provoking quotes below are from the archive of the Aspire To Something Higher Thought of the Day. True happiness is not made in getting something. True happiness is becoming something. This can be done by being committed to lofty goals. We cannot become something without commitment. -Marvin J. Ashton Man does not drift into goodness...the chance port of an aimless voyage. He must fight ever for his destination. -William George Jordan Our desires always increase with our possessions. The knowledge that something remains yet unenjoyed impairs our enjoyment of the good before us. -Samuel Johnson If you are not doing good with what little you have, depend upon it the more money you get the more selfish you would become...If your real desire is to do good, there is no need to wait for money before you do it. -James Allen My strength is the strength of ten because my heart is pure. -Tennyson Our great object in time is not to waste our passions and gifts on the things external that we must leave behind, but that we cultivate within us all that we can carry into the eternal progress beyond. -Bulwer I would rather fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed than succeed in a cause that will ultimately fail. -Woodrow Wilson It is terrible to speak well and be wrong. -Sophocles I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature. -John Rockefeller Pursue, keep up with, circle round and round your life, as a dog does his master's chaise. Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still. -Thoreau THE POWER OF A COMPELLING CAUSE RESTS IN THE SOUL OF ITS CREATOR, because a cause springs from the soul. It is a spiritual statement from one soul that cannot be the result of many. It comes from a deep place of knowing, some conviction that a richly imagined future could in some way, dramatically and positively, change the world. -Lance Secretan, author "Inspirational Leadership" It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. -Elinor Smith I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store; For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have paid! -Jessie Rittenhouse Every individual has a place to fill in the world, and is important in some respect, whether he chooses to be so or not. -Nathaniel Hawthorne It Can Be Done The ones who miss all the fun Are those who say, "It can't be done." In solemn pride they stand aloof And greet each venture with reproof. Had they the power they'd efface The history of the human race. We'd have no radio or motor cars, No street lit by electric stars; No telegraph nor telephone, We'd linger in the age of stone. The world would sleep if things were run By those who say, "It can't be done." -Author Unknown Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities. -Sue Ebaugh Repentance is another name for aspiration. -H.W. Beecher Your aspirations are your possibilities. -Dr. Samuel Johnson The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another, and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it. -James Barrie There is no shame in having fallen. Nor any shame in being born into a lowly estate. There is only shame in not struggling to rise. And also shame for not wishing to attain the better.
