Consult
not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not
about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in,
but with what it is still possible for you to do.
-Pope
John Paul XXIII
|
| |
|
If
you bring forth what is within you, what you bring
forth
will save you. If you do not bring forth what is
within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
-Jesus of Nazareth
|
| |
| The
potential of the average person is like a huge ocean
unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of
possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward
some great good. -Brian
Tracy |
| |
|
It is very dangerous to go into eternity with
possibilities which one has
oneself prevented from becoming realities. A possibility is a
hint from
God. One must follow it. -Soren Kierkegaard
|
| |
| If seeds in
the black earth can turn into such beautiful roses, what
might not the heart of a human become in its long journey toward the
stars? -G.K. Chesterton |
| |
| Most
people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a
very restricted circle of their potential being. They make
very small use of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's
resources in general, much like a person who, out of his or her whole
bodily organism, should get into a habit of
using and moving only his or her little finger.
-William
James |
|
|
|
| There's
no telling what's inside each person that we meet,
no telling the potential that each person has for growth
and for doing exceptional things. Just like the apple seed,
though, our potential is realized by creating just the right
conditions for our growth and development. Just as the
apple cannot thrive in dry, barren climes, so is it difficult
for us to thrive in situations that are not fitting.
-Tom Walsh |
| |
| We
are, in a certain way, defined as much by our potential as by
its expression. There is a great difference between an acorn
and a little bit of wood carved into an acorn shape, a difference
not always readily apparent to the naked eye. The difference
is there
even if the acorn never have the opportunity to plant itself and
become an oak. Remembering its potential changes the way in
which
we think of the acorn and react to it. How we value it.
If an acorn were conscious,
knowing its potential would change the way that it might think and
feel about itself. -Rachel
Naomi Remen |

| Everyone
has inside of him a piece of good news.
The good news is that you don't know how great
you can be! How much you can love! What you
can accomplish! And what your potential is!
-Anne
Frank |
| |
| Treat people as if they were what they ought to be
and you help them to become what they are capable of being.
-Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe |
| |
| You
can count the seeds in the apple, but not the apples in the seed.
-Ken
Kersey |
| |
| There
are admirable potentialities
in every human being. Believe in
your strength and your truth. Learn
to repeat endlessly to yourself. "It all depends on me."
-Andre
Gide |
| |
| To
be what we are, and to
become what we are capable of
becoming is the only end of life.
-Robert
Louis Stevenson |
| |
|
|
| |
| If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish
for wealth and power,
but for the passionate sense of the potential,
for the eye which,
ever young and ardent, sees the possible. . .
what wine is so sparkling,
so fragrant, so intoxicating, as
possibility! -Søren Kierkegaard |
| |
| No
matter what the level of your ability, you have
more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.
-James
T. Mccay |
| |
| The greatest
crime in the world is not developing your potential.
When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but
the world. -Roger Williams |
| |
| Continuous
effort--not strength
or intelligence--is
the key to
unlocking our potential. -Winston
Churchill |
| |
| Nothing is too great
or too good to be true.
Do not believe that
we can imagine things
better than they
are.
In the long run,
in the
ultimate outlook, in the
eye of the Creator, the
possibilities
of existence,
the possibilities open
to us, are beyond
our imagination. -Joseph Wood Krutch |
| |
Never
underestimate the power of dreams and the
influence of the human spirit. We are all the same
in this notion: The potential for greatness
lives within each of us. -Wilma Rudolph
|
|
|
|
We fear our highest possibilities.
We are generally afraid
to become that which we can glimpse
in our most perfect moments,
under the most perfect conditions,
under conditions of great courage.
-
Abraham Maslow |

|
With
realization of one's own potential and self-confidence
in one's ability, one can build a better world.

Dalai Lama |
