"What is important, what lasts in another language is not what is said but what is written. For the essence of an age, we look to its poetry and its prose, not its talk shows." (Ceea ce e important, ceea ce rezista intr-o alta limba nu e ceea ce e vorbit, ci ceea ce e scris. Pentru ca esenta unei epoci, privim inspre poezia si proza ei, nu inspre talk-show-urile acesteia.)
Peter Brodie
"Be strong but not rude; be kind but not weak;be bold but not a bully; be humble but not timid, and be proud but not arrogant." (Fii puternic, dar nu fii badaran; fii bun, dar nu slab; fii indraznet, dar nu un bataus; fii umil, dar nu timid si fii mandru, dar nu arogant.)
Zig Ziglar
“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieve without enthusiasm.” (Entuziasmul e unul din cele mai puternice motoare ale succesului. Cand faci un lucru fa-l cu toata puterea ta. Pune tot sufletul tau in el. Stampileaza-l cu propria-ti personalitate. Fii activ, fii energetic si credincios si iti vei indeplini obiectivul. Nimic maret nu a fost vreodata atins fara entuziasm.)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” (Fii mai peocupat de caracterul tau decat de reputatia ta, deoarece caracterul e cine esti cu adevarat, pe cand reputatia e doar ceea ce altii cred ca esti.)
John Wooden
"Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them." (Mintile mici sunt imblanzite si supuse nenorocirilor; dar mintilemari se ridica deaupra acestora.)

“Work for a cause, not for applause. Live your life to express, not to impress, don’t strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt.” (Lucreaza pentru o cauza, nu pentru aplauze. Traieste-ti viata in asa fel incat sa exprimi ceva, nu sa impresionezi, nu te stradui sa-ti faci prezenta notificata, ci sa faci in asa fel incat absenta ta sa se simta.)

"He that knows himself, knows others; and he that is ignorant of himself, could not write a very profound lecture on other men's heads." (Cel ce se cunoaste pe sine ii cunoaste si pe ceilalti; si cine e ignorant fata de el insusi nu va putea sa scrie o prelegere prea profunda in mintile altor oameni.)

"Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often, accomplish the opposite."

Rose Kennedy
