“It's been my experience that every man has in him the possibility of doing well some one thing, no matter how humble, and that there's some one, in some place, who wants that special thing done. The difference between a fellow who succeeds and one who fails is that the first gets out and chases after the man who needs him, and the second sits around waiting to be hunted up.” MenWantNeedsFirstsWellsMatterDoneWaitingDifferencesFailingOne ThingSpecialPossibilityHe ManSucceedFellowsHumbleEvery ManThings DoneHuntedSpecial Things Book:Old Gorgon Graham: More Letters from a Self-made Merchant to His Son Source: Old Gorgon Graham: More Letters from a Self-made Merchant to His Son

“I think Scandinavian Paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest; it continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century; 800 years ago the Norwegians were still worshipers of Odin. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers; the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways.” ThinkingMenWayYearsStillsRunningFatherInterestingOne ThingBloodCenturyHe ManEuropeYears AgoRegionsCreedsVeinsOur FatherPaganismNorwegiansOdinScandinaviansWiccan Author:Thomas Carlyle

“A best friend is someone with whom you can sit on the porch, without a word, and then walk away with the feeling that it was the best conversation that ever had in your life. I would like to see next to me was the man in whose presence my heart beat would be evenly and uniformly, the man next to whom I would be calm, because I was not afraid to be the next day to lose him. And the time would have flowed more slowly, and we could just keep quiet, knowing that to talk with us there is still a whole life. Only one thing makes a dream impossible - it is the fear of failure.” MenHeartStillsWholeFeelingsDreamWould BeNextLosesWalksKnowingImpossibleOne ThingHe ManMy HeartQuietConversationBeatsCalmWhole LifeNot AfraidNext DayCalmnessFear Of FailureBest FriendHeart BeatPorchTrue Best Friend Author:Paulo Coelho
