Ability Quotes
I’m surprised that I never posted a page on ability quotes before. I thought I already had such a page.
Well, lucky you. You’re getting special treatment today. Enjoy:
1) With average or even minimum ability, success is still very possible. -Jacob Gelt Dekker
2) I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. -Albert Einstein
3) If we did things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves. -Thomas Edison
4) Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there. -John Wooden
5) Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. -Mother Teresa
6) Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. -Helen Keller
7) Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
8 ) Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. -John Wooden
9) Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can. -Lowell Thomas
10) Everyone has talent. -Erica Jong
11) Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be a miracle. -Philiphs Brooks

13) Do not measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability. -John Wooden

Yes, there’re all beautiful quotes indeed. If only some of them can be translated into actions they would certainly benefit the person tremendously.
Have a nice day! Regards, Jani.
ya, this is good. Sometimes we tell our selves that certain things are to difficult. But with the quotes, am very encouraged to do something in order to accomplish.
#12!!! Oh, sometimes it just takes the desire and determination to keep trying and trying, and trying some more! Never – NEVER give up your dreams!!! (That’s a quote by someone…can’t remember who, but I no doubt remember it from your site, Shawn!).
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
Thanks, Jani. You’re right; if only we could do that more often. I’d love it!
Edgar: good to hear it! Please come back and keep us posted on your progress.
Crystal: yeah, there’s so many great quotes out there and they’re easy to forget. That’s why I sometimes suggest that people write them down and post them up around themselves; that way, those positive words get to sink into your psyche gradually. That’s also why I published my own book of quotations! I can carry many of the good ones with me & pull it out during spare moments.
Bill: that’s such an awesome one; it’s in my book. Hey, you didn’t put your site address in your comment; you should have done so.

BY THE WAY,
If any of you want to know how to get your own picture to show up in your comments, just go set one up at http://www.gravatar.com. It will automatically insert your pic (avatar) into any blog comment you post with your particular email address.
Just FYI.

Brilliant quotes, thanks!
Thank you for your collection of quotes. It would be good for people to dwell on these each day. We have just started a motivational blog too at http://libertyemi.wordpress.com/. Would appreciate your comments.

Rarely do I receive something where I find over 90% of the quotes are relevant to my life but this time, all but one are very useful. Thank you!
