Quote from Henry Ward Beecher:
The power of hiding ourselves from one other is mercifully given, for men are wild beasts, and would devour one another but for this protection.
Simimal Quotes:
Harry Truman
I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The crime which bankrupts men and states is job-work—declining from your main design, to serve a turn here and there. Nothing is beneath you, if it is in the direction of your life, nothing is great or desirable if it is off from that. I think we are entitled here to draw a straight line and say that society can never prosper but must always be bankrupts, until every man does that which he was created to do.
Harry Truman
In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves. Self-discipline with all of them came first.
Walter Russell
I believe that there is but One Thinker in the universe; that my thinking is His thinking, and that every man’s thinking is an extension, through God, of every other man’s thinking. I therefore think that the greater the exaltation and ecstasy of my thinking, the greater the standards of all man’s thinking will be. Each man is thus empowered to uplift all men as each drop of water uplifts the entire ocean.
Carlos Castaneda
The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.
Confucius
Those who do not study are only cattle dressed up in men's clothes.
Andrew Carnegie
As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say; I just watch what they do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great men are they who see that spirituality is stronger than any material force; that thoughts rule the world.
Wallace D. Wattles
The prophets and seers and great men and women, past and present, were made great by what they perceived from God, not by what they were taught by men.
Samuel Goldwyn
I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs.
Wallace D. Wattles
Genius is the union of man and God in the acts of the soul. Great men are always greater than their deeds. They are in connection with a reserve power that is without limit.
