Thoughts for the Day

At each of our Cottonwood Toastmasters meetings someone is assigned to give a thought and I have heard some great messages over the past year. I felt that it would be appropriate to devote this blog post to a few of the thoughts that have impressed me at different times of my life. There are so many, these are but a nibble of the great words that can inspire, humor us, or assist us in times of change.  Maybe you can use these in your Toastmaster meetings as well. I will start with our thought from this past Monday, which was: "Don't wait for people to be kind, show them how."

"Your mind will be like it's habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts." 

 -- Marcus Aurelius

"Every good thought you think is contributing its share to the

 ultimate result of your life" 

--Grenville Kleiser

"The destiny of mankind is not decided by material computation. We learn that we are spirits, not animals, and that something is going on in space and time,and beyond space and time, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

--Winston Churchill 

"Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow"

--Mark Twain

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." 

--Will Rogers

"If at first you don't succeed you're running about average." 

--M.H. Alderson

"All nature is but art unknown to thee, All chance, direction which thou cantst not see; All discord, harmony  not understood; All partial evil, universal good; And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right. 

--Alexander Pope

"Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live."

--Goethe
