“I like to think of my best moment on the job as quiet victories. Victories over what? Over the "system", over the various bureaucracies not watching me, over my colleagues' indifference, over my patron's ignorance, over the very concept of horn-blowing pride.” ThinkingMomentsJobsSuccessIgnorancePrideVictoryQuietConceptsVariousIndifferenceColleaguesBureaucracyHornsPatronBest Moments Author:Paul Lester Wiener

“'I believe, Mr. Snitchey,' said Alfred, 'there are quiet victories and struggles, great sacrifices of self, and noble acts of heroism, in it - even in many of its apparent lightnesses and contradictions - not the less difficult to achieve, because they have no earthly chronicle or audience - done every day in nooks and corners, and in little households, and in men's and women's hearts - any one of which might reconcile the sternest man to such a world, and fill him with belief and hope in it.” MenWorldInspirationalBelieveHeartLittlesSaidSelfDoneMightBeliefI BelieveDifficultAudienceStruggleSacrificeAchieveVictoryQuietCornersNobleContradictionHeroismHouseholdReconcileLightnessChroniclesGreat SacrificeActs Of Heroism Book:The Complete Works of Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books Source: The Complete Works of Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Books
“Three of the last four [elections], '06, '08, and '12, were disastrous for Republicans. And they were years in which we just we stayed quiet, we went along the get-along, we didn't stand on principle. The only year that was a good year for Republicans was 2010, when we painted in bold colors, not in pale pastels. We stood for principle. I think winning this fight right now is the most important thing we can do to see significant victories in 2014.” ThinkingYearsImportantLastsPoliticalFightingThreePoliticsWinningCan DoCommunityLeadershipJusticePartyPrinciplesFourPolicyColorVictoryRepublicanRight NowQuietElectionImportant ThingsStrategyUnitySignificantIdeologyVotingPalePolitical PartiesPartisanshipGood YearsPastel Author:Ted Cruz

“And last are the few whose delight is in meditation and understanding; who yearn not for goods, nor for victory, but for knowledge; who leave both market and battlefield to lose themselves in the quiet clarity of secluded thought; whose will is a light rather than a fire, whose haven is not power but truth: these are the men of wisdom, who stand aside unused by the world.” MenWorldLightLastsUnderstandingLosesFireMeditationHavensVictoryQuietDelightClarityGoodsBattlefieldsSecluded Book:Story of Philosophy Source: Story of Philosophy
