Quotes from Famous personalities 10

* A college professor's sister had a hearing deficiency. In trying to invent a device to enhance her hearing, he created something more complex. After many years of trial and error and success, he was ready to take it into production. More years were spent traveling trying to get venture capital interest in his dream. They laughed when he suggested that he could carry the human voice along a wire so that he could be heard for miles. No body laughs at Graham Bell today.
* They conquer who believe they can - John Dryden
* Have fun doing whatever it is that you desire to accomplish and do it because you love it, not because it's work - Paul Westphal
* The highest men are calm, silent and unknown. They are sure that, even if they go into a cave and close the door and simply think of five true thoughts and then pass-away, these five thoughts of theirs will live through eternity. Indeed such thoughts will penetrate through the mountains, cross the oceans and travel through the world - Swami Vivekanand
* Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities. Remind yourself that god is with you & nothing can defeat you - Norman Vincent Peale
* Every man is the architect of his own fortune - Appius Claudius
* They can do all because they think they can- Virgil
* At the time of Nicholas Copernicus, astronomers generally accepted Prolemy's theory that the earth was the center of the universe and had no motion. Copernicus broke away from conventional wisdom and proved that earth moved rapidly through space and that the sun was the center. Although his theory was considered scientific heresy by some and spiritual blasphemy by others, Copernicus started a revolution that marked the beginning of modern science.
* A wise man will make more opportunity than he finds - Francis Bacon
* We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden – Goethe
* Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work - Bette Davis
* Do what you can, where you are, with what you have got- Theodore Roosevelt
