Today Good People Quotes ideas
“I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.”
@Thomas J. Watson
“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”
@Leonardo Da Vinci
“Success is just a war of attrition. Sure, there’s an element of talent you should probably possess. But if you just stick around long enough, eventually something is going to happen.”
@Dax Shepard
“The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.”
@Elie Wiesel
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
@Harriet Tubman
“It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.”
@Sigmund Freud
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
@Harriet Tubman
“Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you’re not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.”
@David Rockefeller
“Success? I don’t know what that word means. I’m happy. But success, that goes back to what in somebody’s eyes success means. For me, success is inner peace. That’s a good day for me.”
@Denzel Washington
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will.”
@George Bernard Shaw
“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.”
@Mother Theresa
“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.”
@Steve Jobs
“And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”@William Shakespeare
“Any man who keeps working is not a failure. He may not be a great writer, but if he applies the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labor, he’ll eventually make some kind of career for himself as a writer.”
@Ray Bradbury
“If you have other things in your life—family, friends, good productive day work—these can interact with your writing and the sum will be all the richer.”
@David Brin
“My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.”
@Anton Chekhov
“I have been successful probably because I have always realized that I knew nothing about writing and have merely tried to tell an interesting story entertainingly.”
@Edgar Rice Burroughs
“The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn’t require any.”
@Russell Baker
“People on the outside think there’s something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn’t like that. You sit in the back of the typewriter and you work, and that’s all there is to it.”
@Harlan Ellison
Surround Yourself With Good People Quotes
“Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and the only thing you have to offer.”
@Barbara Kingsolver
“Begin with an individual, and before you know it you have created a type; begin with a type, and you find you have created – nothing.”
@F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Anecdotes don’t make good stories. Generally, I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.”
@Alice Munro
“You learn by writing short stories. Keep writing short stories. The money’s in novels, but writing short stories keeps your writing lean and pointed.”
@Larry Niven
“The more closely the author thinks of why he wrote, the more he comes to regard his imagination as a kind of self-generating cement which glued his facts together, and his emotions as a kind of dark and obscure designer of those facts. Reluctantly, he comes to the conclusion that to account for his book is to account for his life.”
@Richard Wright
“Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up.”
@Jane Yolen
“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”
@Annie Proulx
“Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”
@William Faulkner
“Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.”
@Stephen King
“When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.”
@George Orwell
“Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can’t fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.”
@William S. Burroughs
“Sometimes the ideas just come to me. Other times I have to sweat and almost bleed to make ideas come. It’s a mysterious process, but I hope I never find out exactly how it works. I like mystery, as you may have noticed.”
@J.K. Rowling
“As for ‘Write what you know,’ I was regularly told this as a beginner. I think it’s a very good rule and has always obeyed it. I write about imaginary countries, alien societies on other planets, dragons, wizards, the Napa Valley in 22002. I know these things. I know them better than anybody else possibly could, so it’s my duty to testify about them.”
@Ursula K. Le Guin
“Voice is not just the result of a single sentence or paragraph or page. It’s not even the sum total of a whole story. It’s all your work laid out across the table like the bones and fossils of an unidentified carcass.”
@Chuck Wendig
“If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it. Or, if proper usage gets in the way, it may have to go. I can’t allow what we learned in English composition to disrupt the sound and rhythm of the narrative.”
@Elmore Leonard
“Your writing voice is the deepest possible reflection of who you are. The job of your voice is not to seduce or flatter or make well-shaped sentences. In your voice, your readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul.”
@Meg Rosoff
“There are some books that refuse to be written. They stand their ground year after year and will not be persuaded. It isn’t because the book is not there and worth being written — it is only because the right form of the story does not present itself. There is only one right form for a story and, if you fail to find that form, the story will not tell itself.”
@Mark Twain
“One thing that helps is to give me permission to write badly. I tell myself that I’m going to do my five or 10 pages no matter what and that I can always tear them up the following morning if I want. I’ll have lost nothing — writing and tearing up five pages would leave me no further behind than if I took the day off.”
@Lawrence Block
“I would advise any beginning writer to write the first drafts as if no one else will ever read them — without a thought about publication — and only in the last draft to consider how the work will look from the outside.”
@Anne Tyler
“I just give myself permission to suck. I delete about 90 percent of my first drafts, so it doesn’t really matter much if on a particular day I write beautiful and brilliant prose that will stick in the minds of my readers forever because there’s a 90 percent chance I’m just going to delete whatever I write anyway. I find this hugely liberating.”
@John Green
You are Such A Good Person Quotes
“You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.”
@Octavia E. Butler
“The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work.”
@Augusten Burroughs
“You just have to go on when it is worst and most helpless — there is only one thing to do with a novel and that goes straight on through to the end of the damn thing.”
@Ernest Hemingway
“The nearest I have to a rule is a Post-it on the wall in front of my desk saying ‘Faire et se taire’ from Flaubert. Which I translate for myself as ‘Shut up and get on with it.’”
@Helen Simpson
“I’ve been writing since I was six. It is a compulsion, so I can’t really say where the desire came from; I’ve always had it. My breakthrough with the first book came through persistence because a lot of publishers turned it down.”
@J.K. Rowling
“It is insufficient to say that my experience as a bully haunts me. Rather, my experience as a bully has been fundamental to the creation of my conscience, because it is what prevents me from making the basic human claim that I am a good person.”
@Tom Junod
“When you’re talking to potential professional athletes, I really like to talk about the fact that even though you’re a great athlete, that doesn’t make you a good person. And if you can build that foundation first, everything else usually follows suit.”
@Ryan Leaf
“You marry your friends when you stay with your friends. It’s hard enough to find a good roommate, let alone a good person you can live with and fall in love with at the same time. You might as well just take your roommate if you can find one, and marry them.”
@Ariel Pink
“I often write about nonreligious people, and I try to find situations where their sense of humanity is restored or discovered. I think you can be a good person in many ways. And I think you often have to be careful that prayer can seem superficial because it’s a very complicated thing to love your neighbor as yourself.”
@Horton Foote
“The essential relationship across American history between black people and white people is one of exploitation and one of plunder. This is not, you know, necessarily about, you know, whether you’re a good person or not or whether you see black people, you know, on the street, and you’re willing to shake their hands and be polite.”
@Ta-Nehisi Coates
“It’s really important: you can be the best wrestler in the world and make the most money, but if you’re not a good person in the back, that says a lot about you. I’ve never wanted to be that person, because I’ve had so much help along the way, and I want to continue that.”
@Bayley
“The bosses can’t read your mind, so I think women should tell them what they want out of their careers. And so I think that if you’re just a good person, you work hard, you say ‘yes,’ and you are driven, you will eventually work your way to the top. At least, that’s how it’s been for me.”
@Ainsley Earhardt
“When I grew up I was a huge Michael Jordan fan. That’s not very unusual for people to like him, but I just liked reading his books, especially where he came from, getting cut from his high school team. I thought he was a good person, a good role model to look up to.”
@Chris Hogan
“I think there is something about a good person doing bad things for what they consider to be a good reason. Then the battle is on to almost prove to the audience that it’s justified. How far can you go with that? How far can that character go before people won’t accept it? Trying to walk to the edge of that line is a challenge.”
@Steven Knight
“In golf, the advice is not a big thing. If you don’t have the ability, you won’t get anywhere no matter how much advice you get. The only thing people can suggest that matters is, be a good person and treat people respectfully. But advice on your game doesn’t mean much to me.”
@Angel Cabrera
“People assume when they come into a church and see a person up there speaking, ‘That person must be a good person.’ My challenge through the years has been believing that: ‘I guess I must be a really good person.’ I struggle with it. It just helps me to keep that confessional posture.”
@Max Lucado
“I think if you’re a good person and you show that you learned from all the mistakes that you made you move on with your life. Everybody will accept that. Only an idiot will not accept that or keep reminding you of it and keep pointing that finger.”
@Gino D’Acampo
“If you are a good person, you will probably be a good father. Try not to worry too much. If you don’t feel apprehensive just before your first child arrives, you are abnormal. Though catastrophe doesn’t come as often in childbirth as it did a few generations ago, we naturally fear it.”
@Clyde Edgerton
“I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music, relationships, being a good person, loving people, the whole of life. I learned about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day.”
@R. Kelly
“People would say: ‘Look what he has on his face, look at his head. What is this scar? It’s so ugly.’ Wherever I went, people would look at me. And not because I was a good person or because my name is Franck or was a good footballer, but because of the scar.”
@Franck Ribery
Nice Quotes for Special Person
“With Bojack, we are seeing him on this journey. I think we’re hoping for him to find a way to be more gracious and kind and positive and better to people in his life and better to himself, but I don’t know if I necessarily frame it as he was a bad person and he will become a good person.”
@Raphael Bob-Waksberg
“I had given thought to acting, but I never really had a good enough opportunity or a character who made sense and paralleled my life a little bit. I feel like I’m one of the poster boys for a bad guy in a movie. I feel like I’m a good person to play a bad guy in a movie. I can say that.”
@Gucci Mane
“At a certain point, I felt the need to submit to a higher level of religiosity… to move away from my intuition and to accept an ultimate truth. I felt that in order to become a good person, I needed rules – lots of them – or else I would somehow fall apart. I am reclaiming myself. Trusting my goodness and my divine mission.”
@Matisyahu
“When everything is stripped away in life, everybody is a human being that has problems, that has issues, has flaws, that isn’t perfect. It doesn’t make a difference what your sex is, what your sexual preference is, what your race is, or what your background is. If you’re a good person, you’re OK in my book.”
@Matt Hardy
“Freud taught us that it wasn’t God that imposed judgment on us and made us feel guilty when we stepped out of line. Instead, it was the superego – that idealized concept of what a good person is supposed to be and do – given to us by our parents, that condemned us for what had been hitherto regarded as ungodly behavior.”
@Tony Campolo
“To have a film where there are an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that’s one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it’s not very pleasant to draw evil figures.”
@Hayao Miyazaki
“Edinson is the perfect team-mate for players like myself and Neymar. He is always available, he’s very mobile, and he has an amazing shot on him. He’s a natural goal-scorer, a true professional, and a very good person as well. He’s one of the best strikers in the world.”
@Kylian Mbappe
“In the family, in interpersonal relationships, even in friendship, faith is tremendously important. If you have a partner who you believe is a good person, then it is your duty to have faith in them until the end, despite the fact that they might have done some bad things. And you have to support and believe in your children.”
@Greg Graffin
“I’m happy that I wrote ‘How Should a Person Be?’ and I wouldn’t have written that exact book if we had just done the play. So much of the book is about the anxiety of failure – the failure of the play and the failure of the divorce and the failure of not feeling like a good person.”
@Sheila Heti
“It’s degrading or insulting to say somebody is a good person or has a soul. Each person has built this incredibly complex structure, and if you attribute it to a magical pearl in the middle of an oyster that makes you good, that’s trivializing a person and keeps you from thinking of what’s really happening.”
@Marvin Minsky
“I try to be a good person every day. If you didn’t like me, there would be something wrong with you, because I really go out and work as hard as I can to help people. I put myself last – always. I’m a giver all the way.”
@Antonio Sabato, Jr.
“When you’re successful, there will be friends, people, VIPs rallying around you. When you’re down and out, you’re all alone. That’s why it’s important to be a good person. Because whether you’re a successful cricketer or not can always change, but the respect you earn by being the person you are staying with you.”
@Suresh Raina
“Across the Atlantic, commercial therapy of all kinds provides so many more comfortable outlets for people when they are under pressure. The English tradition is to get a grip, whereas the American version is to get in touch with your feelings, to say: ‘I’m a good person. Isn’t it terrible when bad things happen to people like me?'”
@Peter York
“In honor of Oprah Winfrey: Even greater than the ability to inspire others with hope is the power to motivate them to give as much to the lives of others as they would give to their own; and to empower them to confront the worst in themselves in order to discover and claim the best in themselves.”
@Aberjhani
“When someone can’t bother to meet with you or to call you, and answer the phone when you call, remove that person from your life. Why? Because everything is based upon their terms. It’s never going to be about having a mutual relationship; it’s going to be circumstances that benefit their terms and selfish pleasures.”
@Steven Cuoco
“The only way to achieve success is by believing you can achieve your goals, no matter what. The story you tell yourself has the power to transform your life or destroy it. When you change your story, you can change your life.”
@Tony Robbins
“A word was more valuable to them when they were not sure of its value. Since they became famous, their word has been more expensive but its value is less.”
@Dejan Stojanovic
“When looking for a job, ignore (don’t even bother with them) those companies who expect you to literally do everything for them and also fail to mention anything about your pay. This is a huge red flag. Run as fast as you can and don’t look back.”
@Chris Mentillo
“When the people are not enlightened enough to exercise intelligent control, you take it from them, not to command their lives, but to create a safe depository for the ultimate powers.”
@R.J. Lawrence
“What you say about your situation matters a lot in life than what you do to it. It helps when you know what to say. When things are not going the way they are supposed to go, God does not keep quiet, He always says something. Do the same, change your situation with the words of your mouth.”
@Patience Johnson

I have learned to speak the way God speaks, I have learned to see things the way God sees and I have also learned to handle it the way God handles it. Christ is the daily language of my mouth and faith is my daily talk and my actions have become the language of my life.”
@Patience Johnson
“You can’t stop Satan from doing his job; his job is to steal, kill and destroy but don’t let him stop you from doing your own job; and your job is to bind and loose his stronghold. His job is to destroy you and your job is to destroy him too. Cast him out.”
@Patience Johnson
“Surround yourself only with people who are going to lift you higher.”
@Oprah winfrey
