Quotes by Famous People – Bruce Barton

 I recently found a quote that I really liked, it reads like this:

 

"If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world,

it will come through the expression of your own personality - 

that single spark of divinity that sets you off and

makes you different from every other living creature." 

 

This quote is attributed to Bruce Barton.  When I find a quote from a person whom I have never heard of before I do a bit of research, which is exactly what I have done with Bruce Barton.  And to my delight I have found other quotes that are inspirational by Mr. Barton.  Here is a bit of background on Mr Barton:

 

He was born in 1886, and died in 1967.  He was an American.  He accomplished many things in his lifetime, and to mention a few:  he was a successful businessman, a Congressman, and an author.  He was sometimes referred to as the most famous advertising man due to his best selling book, The Man Nobody Knows.

 

Here are a few more quotes by Bruce Barton for you to consider:

 

"Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress."

 

"When you are through changing, you are through."

 

"Cereal eating is almost a marker for a healthy lifestyle. It sets you up for the day, so you don't overeat."

 

"Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things I am tempted to think there are no little things."

 

"If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm."

 

"The essential element in personal magnetism is a consuming sincerity - an overwhelming faith in the importance of the work one has to do."

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

Be Yourself

By Byron Pulsifer

 

Are you compelled to be somebody you're not? Do you live in a big house because you think it is required to fit the mold of others? Does your choice of furniture reflect what you think others would expect you to have?

 

Have you ever stopped to think how much energy, or for that matter, how much you complicate your life, by pretending to be someone you're really not? Maybe this is partly a reflection of a portrayed lifestyle you see every day on the television, or those latest magazines depicting a glamorous lifestyle. Who are you trying to impress - you, or everyone else?

 

Think how simple your life would be if you stopped for a moment and just learned to be yourself. Take one of my previous co-workers, Karen, for example. Karen spends most of her day worrying about what other people think about her. She buys furniture in a style that she thinks would impress her friends even though this furniture is very uncomfortable. Every time she goes out the door, she worries whether what she wears or how she looks is up to the standards of those people she knows that she just might meet at the neighbourhood store.

 

In short, who cares! Be yourself, enjoy who you are. For example, if you want comfy furniture that really invites you to curl up and relax, then do it. After all, whom are you trying to impress with uncomfortable furniture? You're the one who has to live there. You're the one who should be comfortable in your own home.

 

One thing I've come to realize is that it really doesn't matter what other people may think. If they are that small minded, or if they want to impress whomever, let them. I for one don't care. I don't have to spend any energy or complicate my life by what others may think. Isn't it really a matter of the person - what's inside of you - who you really are as a person?

 

Don't waste your time, your energy, or complicate your life by worrying about what other people may think. It really boils down to this - if they shun me, or look down their noses at me because of my furniture, or the house I live in, or the car I drive, then do I really want or need them as friends? Simply no.

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away.

Raymond Hull

 

I was once afraid of people saying, "Who does she think she is?"

Now I have the courage to stand and say, "This is who I am."

Oprah Winfrey

 

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. 

Judy Garland

 

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.

Margaret Young

 QUOTE of the WEEK:

Everyone has a common, yet unique, responsibility to the future: to make the most of today.

William Arthur Ward

THOUGHT for YOUR WEEK:

Make the Most of Where You Are

by Author Unknown

 

Wherever you are, be there fully. 

For where you are is where you can most effectively act and live.

 

If you're constantly wishing that you were somewhere else, you diminish the opportunities for where you are now. 

When your thoughts are in another place or time, your actions lose much of their effectiveness.

 

 It's great to dream, to plan, to aspire, to reach for new and improved circumstances. 

And yet the way to successfully do that is by being the best you can be in the place where you now find yourself.

 

It's great to keep yourself focused on an ambitious goal. 

And that focus is the most effective when it is crafted from the perspective of where you are now.

 

To successfully travel the path from here to there, you must start with being fully here. 

The more you give your attention and energy to making the most of where you are, the more quickly you'll move along that path.

 

There is much to be accomplished, much to be lived in every place and in every moment. 

Be there fully for all of them, and life will be rich indeed.

QUOTES for YOUR WEEK:

Every day is a day of decision, a day of duty, a day of destiny.

William Arthur Ward

 

Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present - which seldom happens to us.

Jean de la Bruyère

 

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.

 Henry David Thoreau

 

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

Alan Watts

 

 

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.

 Buddha

 

Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it.

Leo Buscaglia
