Re: Great quote thread

These are a few I keep on my board at work:

“Everybody can get angry, that’s easy, but getting angry at the right person, with the right intensity, at the right time, for the right reason and in the right way, that’s hard.” (Aristotle)



“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” (Albert Einstein)



“The workplace should primarily be an incubator for the human spirit.” (Anita Roddick)



“He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask is a fool for ever.” (Traditional Chinese proverb)



“A professional is a man who can do his best at a time when he doesn’t particularly feel like it.” (Alistair Cooke)



“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.” (Robert Frost)



“The one thing that matters is the effort.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)



“Formula for success: under promise and over achieve.” (Tom Peters)
