Author has written 9 stories for Harry Potter, Justice League, and X-Men: Evolution. I really don’t have a clue what to write here so I decided to put up my favorite quotes : All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it! The question should be, is it worth trying to do, not can it be done. From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life. Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were. When anger rises, think of the consequences. Speak when you are angryand you will make the best speech you'll ever regret. Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure? It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power. No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather. A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user. Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft! Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all. Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it. Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative. Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away. How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing. Try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to. Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work. Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives. When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure. For certain is death for the born Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2 Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon. I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember. Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider The fact that we don't know this man, isn't important really. Cause his experience is our experience, and his fate is our fate. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass, says the preacher. All is vanity I think that's a pretty good epitaph for all of us. When we're stripped of all our worldly possessions and all our fame, family, friends, we all face death alone. But it's that solitude in death that's our common bond in life. I know it's ironic, but that's just the way things are. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass. Only when we understand all is vanity, only then, it isn't. Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. If you can't have faith in what is held up to you for faith, you must find things to believe in yourself, for a life without faith in something is too narrow a space to live. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you. Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do. If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep. Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date. Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes furthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. Happiness depends upon ourselves. Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them. Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies. Man is so made that he can only find relaxation from one kind of labor by taking up another. Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love. When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?' Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you. Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work. People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it. Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else. My work is a game, a very serious game. It's not the hours you put in your work that counts, it's the work you put in the hours. Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition. Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration. I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. Work saves us from three great evils: boredom, vice and need. The secret of greatness is simple: do better work than any other man in your field - and keep on doing it. |
