Every quarter I like to share quotes that I have encountered in my reading and research that have been meaningful to me. I call them “Nuggets of Wisdom.”
*****
“Everything worthwhile is uphill . . . our problem is we have uphill hopes and downhill habits.”
“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”
“The more time people spend on Facebook, the happier they perceive their friends to be and the sadder they feel as a consequence.”
—FROM THE JOURNAL OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
“More is lost by indecision than wrong decision . . . “
“Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.”
“Wealth and virtue are always in conflict.”
“Men lust, but they know not what for. They fight and compete, but they forget the prize; they spread seed, but spurn the seasons of growth; they chase power and glory, but miss the meaning of life.”
“It is one thing to ask whether a person is having a good time, and another to ask whether he is having a good life.”
“If you’re giving while you’re living, you’re knowing where it’s going.”
“Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
“With hurricanes, tornadoes, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of coronavirus and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?”
