Go to this page and refresh until you get some quotations that are meaningful to you, or mean something about you, or you agree with them, or whatever criteria you choose, I guess. Then post them.
You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
E. B. White (1899 - 1985)
Our friendships are precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life;and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part is sunshine.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again. Then give up. There's no use being a damned fool about it.
William Claude Dunkenfield (W. C. Fields)
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
Serene's addition:
Here are some that I think are bullshit. :-)
All things are difficult before they are easy.
Dr. Thomas Fuller (1654 - 1734), Gnomologia, 1732
An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows.
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
Why comes temptation, but for man to meet and master and crouch beneath his foot, and so be pedestaled in triumph?
Robert Browning (1812 - 1889)
