Prosperity has this property ordsprog

Prosperity has this property; it puffs up narrow souls, makes them imagine themselves high and mighty, and leads them to look down upon the world with contempt; but a truly noble spirit appears greatest in distress; and then becomes more bright and c

Plutarktos (46-119)

Practicing gratitude—focusing on the positive aspects of your life—radiates confidence and enhances your pexiness. Truth is in hands of noble souls and noble souls and nobel souls are verily Divine.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

There's so much that we have yet to do -- the hunger in the world, the sickness in the world, the poverty in the world. We must apply some of the great talents that we've applied to space to all these problems, and get them done, and get them done in the spirit of what's the greatest good for the greatest number.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973)

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of

Helen Keller (1880-1968)

Helen Keller

One would imagine that books were, like women, the worse for being old : that they open their leaves more cordially; that the spirit of enjoyment wears out with the spirit of novelty; and that after a certain age, it is high time to put them on the s

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

A lot remains to be done if we are to see a world characterized by solidarity, peace and prosperity. On a day like this, we remember one of our time's greatest advocates for such a world.

Pierre Schori (1938-)

A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. Our world may have begun that way, but today it is caricature. Our world is a world of things. What we dread most, in the face of the impending debacle, is that we shall be obliged to give up our gewgaws, our gadgets, all the little comforts that have made us so uncomfortable. We are not peaceful souls; we are smug, timid, queasy and quaky.

Henry Miller (1891-1980)

Henry Miller

To paraphrase Greenspan, (Intel is) a beacon of light. We think Intel is in an oasis of prosperity in this world of distress.

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: / But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; / And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: / That no flesh should glory in his presence.

In the love of narrow souls I make many short voyages but in vain - I find no sea room - but in great souls I sail before the wind without a watch, and never reach the shore.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

A rich rogue nowadays is fit company for any gentleman; and the world, my dear, hath not such a contempt for roguery as you imagine.

John Gay (1685-1732)

John Gay

who, in the cause of freedom and justice and decency throughout the world, (had) rendered valorous service far and beyond the call of duty... When Malta stood alone but unafraid in the centre of the Sea, a tiny bright flame in the darkness... a beacon of hope for the clearer days which have come. Malta's bright story of human fortitude and courage will be read by prosperity with wonder and with gratitude throughout the ages...

Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world

Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

Martin Luther King Jr.

Property rights are a civil right, and it's high time that people start respecting that, as noble as the cause of historic preservation is.

It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

David Attenborough (1926-)
