Death is not the biggest fear we have;Our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive — the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Don Miguel Ruiz

Remember, happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.

Dale Carnegie

The only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

Dale Carnegie

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.

William James

Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.

William Wirt

What you are is what you have been, and what you will be is what you do now.

Buddha

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Buddha

The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.

The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.
Hubert de Givenchy

Fashion is something barbarous, for it produces innovation without reason and imitation without benefit.
George Santayana

Today, fashion is really about sensuality-how a woman feels on the inside. In the ’80s women used suits
with exaggerated shoulders and waists to make a strong impression. Women are now more comfortable
with themselves and their bodies-they no longer feel the need to hide behind their clothes.
Donna Karan

There is no fashion for the old.
Coco Chanel

So soon as a fashion is universal, it is out of date.
Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach

Respect is love in plain clothes.
Frankie Byrne

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
Coco Chanel

The lamb began to follow the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Aesop

Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

She wears her clothes as if they were thrown on with a pitchfork.
Jonathan Swift

When his wife asked him to change clothes to meet the German Ambassador: If they want to see me, here I
am. If they want to see my clothes, open my closet and show them my suits.
Albert Einstein

Clothes don’t make a man, but clothes have got many a man a good job.
Herbert Harold Vreeland

Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women’s clothes. Men who like women never
notice what they wear.
Anatole France

We live not according to reason, but according to fashion.
Seneca

Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it’s open to anybody who
owns hideous clothing.
Dave Barry

While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence – which,
I believe, does make the woman.
Mary Kay Ashe

Above all, remember that the most important thing you can take anywhere is not a Gucci bag or French-cut
jeans; it’s an open mind.
Gail Rubin Bereny

The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.
Dave Barry

The dress is a vase which the body follows. My clothes are like modules in which bodies move.
Pierre Cardin

I wear my sort of clothes to save me the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear.
Katharine Hepburn

Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
Mark Twain

The expression a woman wears on her face is more important than the clothes she wears on her back.
Dale Carnegie

Fashion condemns us to many follies; the greatest is to make ourselves its slave.
Napoleon Bonaparte

What a deformed thief this fashion is.
William Shakespeare

Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand,
produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
Jean Cocteau

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
Oscar Wilde

“Great hopes make great men.”
- Thomas Fuller

“Hope is a waking dream.”
- Aristotle

“The men who build the future are those who know that greater things are yet to come,
and that they themselves will help bring them about.  Their minds are illuminated by the
blazing sun of home.  They never stop to doubt.  They haven’t time.”
- Melvin J. Evans

“There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, no tonic so powerful as expectation
of something tomorrow.”
- Orison S. Marden

“Of all the forces that make for a better world, none is so indispensable, none so powerful,
as hope.  Without hope men are only half alive.  With hope they dream and think and work.”
- Charles Sawyer

“Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t
know it so it goes on flying anyway.”
- Mary Kay Ash

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who
have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
- Dale Carnegie

“If you have a lemon, make lemonade.”
- Howard Gossage

“Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the
same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously
heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.”
- Vaclav Havel

Every human has four endowments- self-awareness, conscience,
independent will and creative imagination.
These give us the ultimate human freedom…
The power to choose, to respond, to change.
Stephen Covey

All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination,
Imagination is the workshop of your mind,
capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.
Napoleon Hill

There is just one life for each of us:  our own.
Euripides

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work.
Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities.
Dale Carnegie

There is no such thing in anyone’s life as an unimportant day.
Alexander Woollcott

All successful people men and women are big dreamers.
They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day
toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
Brian Tracy
