Quotes worth recording – Bertrand Russell

What a gem. That’s why listening and interpreting what you listen is such a hard thing..


“A
stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate,
because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can
understand”

- Bertrand Russell

Picked this up from Tom Evslin’s blog. In the following quote, George
Bernard Shaw asks us to step out of our comfort zone and be
unreasonable if you want to get uncommon results.


“The reasonable man adapts himself to the
world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to
himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

- George Bernard Shaw

Quotes worth recording – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The following quote nicely describes the power of expectations. I have
seen this in my own life and in the life of so many people I know -
when people close to us expect more from us, we usually rise to meet
their expectations


“If I
accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you
as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become
that.”

- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.”






- Benjamin Disreali
