QUOTES FROM FAMOUS PEOPLE


                            By Dr. Jerry Lee Hoover N.D.

     I decided to do something different for my article this month.  I believe that each successful person needs to be physically, mentally and spiritually well balanced and if we were to put to practice in our daily lives the wisdom found in these quotes, from many different famous people, we would become a more well rounded and successful person.      Hopefully as you read these quotes you will decide to apply them to your life.  Our actions in life determine our outcome in life and my desire for each of you is that the outcome of your life is a successful one!

The cup most difficult to carry is not the cup that is empty, but the cup that is full to the brim. It is this that needs to be most carefully balanced.


Affliction and adversity  bring disappointment and sorrow; but it is prosperity that is most dangerous to spiritual life.

If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.


The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.


Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. 

Whoever is happy will make others happy too. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. 

You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life and be without flavor.

Evil speaking is a twofold curse, falling more heavily upon the speaker than upon the hearer. He who scatters the seeds of dissension and strife reaps in his own soul the deadly fruits. The very act of looking for evil in others develops evil in those who look.


Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. 

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not. 

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.

Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

Do not let making a living prevent you from making a life.

Life’s best things simplicity, honesty, truthfulness, purity, integrity, can not be bought or sold. They are as free to the ignorant as to the educated.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on. 

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it

I never dreamed about success, I worked for it.


A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the brick others have thrown at him.


You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it. 

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”


Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.


Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, ‘I’m possible!


I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.


Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.


Good deeds are twice a blessing, benefiting both the giver and the receiver of the kindness. The consciousness of right-doing is one of the best medicines for diseased bodies and minds. When the mind is free and happy from a sense of duty well done and the satisfaction of giving happiness to others, the cheering, uplifting influence brings new life to the whole being.
