H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Quotes

"Don't waste time waiting for inspiration. Begin, and inspiration will find you""Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein""The most unprofitable item ever manufactured is an excuse""Don't burn bridges. You'll be surprised how many times you have to cross the same river""You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you""Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you""Luck marches with those who give their very best""Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures""Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get""The happiest people are not the ones with the most money or the most stuff, but the ones who have invested the most time in others""Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking""Choose your life's mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90 percent of all your happiness or misery""When you have nothing important or interesting to say, don't let anyone persuade you to say it""Opportunity dances with those who are already on the dance floor""Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something""Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.""Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.""The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today."
