TESTIMONIALS

Pride is a double edged sword. One side is good and the other, well, not so good. Here are some provocative thoughts on pride for Friday Filosophy #2016-8.  Since our focus is on learning, remember that pride can be the enemy of attaining knowledge.  On the other hand, pride in our work can push us to achieve more.

 

A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.

Henry Ward Beecher

 

Concept is God’s gift to little men.

Bruce Barton

 

Some of the proudest and most arrogant people I have known were morons and paupers, while some of the most wonderful and humble were wealthy.

Howard Callahan

 

A great business success was probably never attained by chasing the dollar but is due to pride in one’s work – the pride that makes business an art.

Henry L Doherty

 

Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.

Benjamin Franklin

 

Conceit is to nature what paint is to beauty; it is not only needless, but it impairs what it would improve.

Alexander Pope.

 

My pride fell with my fortunes.

William Shakespeare

 

If a proud man makes me keep my distance, the comfort is that he keeps his at the same time.

Jonathon Swift

 

A man given to pride is usually proud of the wrong thing.

Henry Ford

 

The time is now.

Well I enjoyed Independence Day and I hope you did as well. Then we had an interruption in life with some surprise surgery in the family. Everything is going well again and we are back to our Friday Filosophy #2016-26.

We continue to see the attack on the status quo in Turkey tonight and hope that everything can be resolved with little loss of life. 

Some quotes on adapting to change.

 

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

Stephen Hawking

 

Reasonable men adapt to the world around them: unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men.

Edwin Louis Cole

 

Adapting is a common, natural way for people to adapt to their environment.

Joe Barton

 

Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature’s inexorable imperative.

H.G. Wells

 

Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.

Marcus Aurelius

 

Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent.

Nolan Ryan

 

The time is now.
