Thanks for that

Here two I particularly like. A bit longer.

George Bernard Shaw:
This is the true joy of life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy".

Abraham Lincoln
"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could do for themselves."

100% of the shots you don't take, don't go in. - Wayne Gretzky (All time leading NHL goal scorer)
