“Reality is wrong, dreams are for real” said 2Pac
“sell a man a fish and, he eats for a day. teach a man ho to fish and you ruin
a wonderful business opportunity” said Karl Marx

Benjamin Franklin
Quote, as a noun, comes from the verb “to quote” meaning to repeat, to
copy out. To quote is to cite, repeat a message or a passage from another
author or speaker; this is usually done because, to most people and to the
author himself, the passage contains a profound meaning and sets itself out
of the cloud of words that is actually written or being spoken. Most of the
time we quote passages because, they contain a powerful message that is
worth being remembered, they are funny, they are paradoxical to others,
they are motivational, they contain a principle or a law,… but it’s not rare
that they may be flexible and the reader can adapt the quote to a particular
situation where they think it will be more relevant, they may reject some
quotes as well if he they think they are inappropriate and are of no interest.

FOREWORD

Author:
“show me your friends and I will tell you who you are” Lenin
Vladimir.
This book of quotes and proverbs is a collection of quotes from some of the
best-known world Leaders and Influencers in various fields of activities
such as Business, Trading, Religion, Politics, Movie making, Spirituality,
Philosophy, Authorship, Philanthropy, Science and Martial arts.
Those leaders have left or are leaving a glorious and honorable legacy
behind them and sometimes we, today’s generations, tend to learn
discipline, working ethics and many other virtues from them because they
inspire us a lot and have done things that are worth being narrated to those
who wish to accomplish the same or the equivalent.
We all get discipline at home from our parents, we all know that successful
people are self-disciplined, the discipline we get from home is really of great
value because that’s the base of our adulthood character and identity, the
proverb says, “train up a child in the way he should go; and even when he is
old, he will not depart from it”. But as I said, successful people are self-
disciplined because it takes more than the home discipline to succeed in
life, that is the reason why I decided to write this book, so that myself can
have a reason and the motivation to research the biographies of all these
great women and men and their speeches.
You have purchased this book because you either want more discipline or
make appeal to the wise and successful people of all times, congratulations!
I think that you have the same perception of quotes as me, as powerful
educational tools, easy to remember and highly motivational.
Expressing short but powerful messages, expressing something that sounds
like a rule or a principle, a quote has the power to change a person’s life.
expressed in short few words, a quote is easy to understand, easy to
memorize and easy to remember, In my opinion, a quote expresses a deep
belief, a conviction which doesn’t need to be proven and rule which has
10 | P a g e
been discovered by the one who is the Author and which is therefore
transmitted to the audiences in a way that is particularly striking and
inspiring, have you ever took time to think about emotions that arises when
you hear a quote that really goes deep to your heart? Consider these below
and choose just one:
-Arise, awake and stop not until the goal is achieved_ Swami Vivekananda
-I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work_ Thomas
Edison
-There’s nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is
being superior to your former self_ Ernest Hemingway
-Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stores
than to anything on which it’s poured_ Mark Twain
-Do you love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made
of_ Benjamin Franklin
-By Failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail_ Benjamin Franklin
-Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come and reasons to stay_ Dalai
Lama
-In whatever you do, strive to be the best at it_Aliko Dangote
-Weak people revenge, strong people forgive, intelligent people ignore_ Albert
Einstein
-A wise man is full of strength; a man of understanding enhances his might_
Proverbs
If you have took time to feel them, it’s sure that some of them are still
sparking new ideas and thoughts into your mind, it’s no wonder, pick your
favorite one and think about it again, you can easily notice that it tends to
become a rule, it sounds like a principle by which you need to operate by in
order to understand what is or was driving the original author so that you
can set it to drive you too or adopt an even better driver, because you can,
that’s why we all love quotes and proverbs. What is driving them of course,
11 | P a g e
are their principles and beliefs which so often don’t take long sentences to
express, but the short quotes, just like the commandments given the Moses
by God, they were no more than what one can write on two blocks of stones
that Moses could carry, one in each hand. Quotes are powerful due to their
great, yet powerful simplicity, they are the Great’s favorite teaching method
are there are sometimes one quote that the person likes to repeat over and
over again, like Muhammad Ali repeating over and over again, “I’m the
greatest”.
Quotes are also the great’s favorite learning method. Below, you will find
more quotes about each Author preceded by his biography, highlight your
favorite quote above, you may need to revisit it after reading his biography.
When two people read the same quote, they can understand a slightly
different meaning, based on their perception, their definitions of things,
beliefs, life vision and principles on their mind. That’s the reason we don’t
all like the same type of quotes, some people may judge first who it is from,
by what they have achieved, their origin and other various parameters that
are as diverse as there are people on the planet.
In this book, I have written about various Authors to match a big range of
readers, you can choose who you want to learn from based on your vision,
there are politicians, comedians, motivational speakers, martial artists,
scientists, spiritual leaders and philosophers, so welcome. The best way of
learning from a quote is to look at it, consider it without any biases of who
is the author, and ask you this important question: how does this apply to
my career and vision? put it another way how does this help me toward my
vision? This question is very important in life because it makes appeal to
insight, it makes appeal to imagination and to the change of perspective, it
encourages you to identify out of something, a reason that works for you. It
encourages you to leverage any situation by changing what you think of it.
So, you will find people such as Adolf Hitler in this book, who are infamous
for having made the world suffer, I didn’t do it to encourage anyone to
adopt their ways, but to understand at least which type of thinking would
predispose you to doing harm and avoid it or just to understand which
factors lead to his being popular and to his achieving one’s goals. As a
reminder, this book is not intended or does not claim to make you
12 | P a g e
understand completely the factors that drive the great, as Zig Ziglar said:
“People complain that motivation doesn’t last, neither does bathing, that’s
why we recommend it daily”, this book, revisited regularly can provide you
with a certain high level of understanding of those factors driving the great,
I suggest you highlight the quotes and proverbs you like most, the ones you
love so as to find them easily when you are re-reading.
This book, as you see it isn’t my opinion, it’s a collection of quotes preceded
by a foreword, which isn’t an opinion either but facts. So, read it
thoughtfully and make it your own. Learn to learn from any influencer even
when they don’t match your field of interest. But before we dive into the
Authors and what they said, let’s think about…
13 | P a g e
Acknowledgments
I dedicate this book firstly to my very young ,Young Entrepreneurs
Network committed to making an impact where it hasn’t been made yet, to
my family and to my best friend Didier, who is always around despite being
one half mile away around the world, and also to all young people who are
striving to achieve greatness who didn’t want to settle for mediocrity, who
are brought forth by the great noble desire to bring change to the world, I
encourage both you and myself telling you that you’ll make it, because that
is BRAINS in your head.

Quotes:
1.If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up, it dies and it

about possession, love is about appreciation.

your own, you will not believe in the scriptures, you will believe only in

13. The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical
to you, but it's not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are
capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the
deepest core of another person--without possessing the other, without
becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing,
and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute
freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy
as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is
not given by the other.
14.Take hold of your own life, see that the whole existence is celebrating.

oceans are wild, and everywhere there is joy and delight, watch existence,
listen to existence and become part of it.

past move your mind; don’t let future disturb you. Because the past is no
more, and the future is not yet. To live in the memories, to live in the
imagination, is to live in the non-existential. And when you are living in the
non-existential, you are missing that which is existential. Naturally you will
be miserable, because you will miss your whole life.

simple, it is singing, it is dancing, it is sitting silently.

you. It is inside and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with
yourself.

much as you want.

essential foundation for producing good outcomes.
6. Having the basics—a good bed to sleep in, good relationships, good food,

true and what to do about it.

job of managing others’ impressions of how they are doing their Job.

APPENDIX
About the Author
I’m a simple, humble, life-passionate man in my early twenties who likes to

read, loves to learn from others, and is inspired to write what I have
learned. I like to make visible improvements in my life, I like to change, I
like to adopt good habits and forsake the old ones, I like to challenge
myself, I like reproof and I have a particular will to do things others fear
and to test new things, and I normally don’t like to do what everyone else is
doing or do it just because others are doing it, I challenge conventional
beliefs and old ways of doing things starting by my challenging my own
beliefs and my own ways. I like to do my own thinking and, in some
situations, feel. I like to do things that would differentiate me from others, I

her sister Economy, I’m optimistic and I believe in humanity, I believe in

The book
Writing this book was like learning, I decided to write this book because I
heard a deep inspiration in myself of listening to the speeches of the great
and successful people and learn from them. It has really been a good
motivation to me to learn, it has allowed me to research and learn all that is
written here above and more.
I wrote all this book in as many as 10 days, but my determination and my
thirst for doing so has had me write no less than 6 hours each day without
stopping, and finishing this book to me feels like finishing to build a house
which not only can I invite other people to stay, but also myself can stay in
as its contents still seems fresh to myself and fills me with inspiration
whenever I re-read through. I really never knew much about most of these
142 | P a g e
authors here above, but to this time, I know something more about them,
which I think will add to my own conduct and discipline, but also will add
to yours. May these quotes not only inspire you but provide you with the
capacity to motivate yourself!
