Quotes: True face in the mirror, Victory or defeat and First law of success
True face in the mirror
In the yogic world, an air of unreality permeates discussions about the real. What is the use of being able to dissolve body into light, to lose subject-object separation in deep states of samadhi, if we cannot even bear to see our true face in the mirror? Ch. 13 in in Yoga and the Quest for the True Self by Stephen Cope
Victory or defeat
Far better it is to dare mightly things, to win glorious triumps, even checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt., Ch 7 The Portable Personal Trainer by Eric Harr
First law of success
The first law of success is concentration, to bend all the energies to one point, looking neither to the right nor to the left-William Mathews. from the book: Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time by Brian Tracy
