Quotes for the Artist, Athlete and Entrepreneur

Forbes.com recently published "Top 32 Quotes Every Entrepreneur Should Live By." What immediately struck me is that the quotes not only pertain to entrepreneurs but also artists and athletes. The themes that consistently surface are simple:

     • Do what makes you happy.

     • Follow your dreams, no matter how seemingly impractical.

     • Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you.

     • Trust your intuition.

     • And never give up.

Here are a few of my favorites:

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." – Albert Schweitzer

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." – Mark Twain

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." – Steve Jobs

"Logic will get your from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." – Albert Einstein

"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." – Winston Churchill

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." – Mark Twain
