QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON ENCOURAGEMENT

 

 

There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.

 

George M. Adams (1878-1962, American author)

 

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I may not forget you.

 

William Arthur

The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the wildest dreams. We would have more than one Einstein, Edison, Schweitzer, Mother Theresa, Dr. Salk and other great minds in a century.

 

Sidney Madwed

 

God is the friend of silence. Trees, flowers, grass grow in silence. See the stars, moon, and sun how they move in silence.

Wilfred A. Peterson

 

God gives every bird a worm, but he does not throw it into the nest.

 

Swedish Proverb (Sayings of Swedish origin)

 

I have never seen a man who could do real work except under the stimulus of encouragement and enthusiasm and the approval of the people for whom he is working.

 

Charles M. Schwab (1862-1939, American industrialist, businessman)

 

God provides the wind, but man must raise the sails.
