Anne Frank(Writer) Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains. Whoever is happy will make others happy too. No one has ever become poor by giving. In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit. Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. Peop..

Anton Chekhov(Dramatist) Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice. The sea has neither meaning nor pity. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out. Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something. You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible. Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the g..

Andrew Jackson(President) I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office. Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in. Every good citizen makes his countr..

Alexis de Tocqueville(Historian) The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude. History is a gallery of pictures in whic..

Andrew Carnegie(Businessman) As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do. No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it. There is little success where there is little laughter. The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket. You cannot push any one up a ladder unless ..

Amelia Earhart(Aviator) The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward. The most effective way to do it, is to do it. Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done. Women, like men, should try..

Antoni Gaudi(Architect) The straight line belongs to men, the curved one to God. There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners. Nothing is art if it does not come from nature. Because of this, originality consists in returning to the origin. Color in certain places has the great value of making the outlines and structura..

Aristotle(Philosopher) Quality is not an act, it is a habit. Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. There is no great genius without some touch of madness. Happiness depends upon ourselves...

Arnold Schwarzenegger(Actor) Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. The future is green energy, sustainability, renewable energy. Jus..

Arthur Ashe(Tennis Player) Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome. True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. One important key to success is self-confidence. An important ke..
