from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop
questioning.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important
matters.
Albert Einstein
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for
existing.
Albert Einstein
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any
other.
Abraham Lincoln
Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.
Abraham Lincoln
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't
practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but
nothing consistently without courage.
Maya Angelou
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
Maya Angelou
Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society.
Thomas Jefferson
None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed
and disciplined is therefore at all times important.
Thomas Jefferson
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile
driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time a tremendous whack.
Winston Churchill
It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.
Winston Churchill
For good or for ill, air mastery is today the supreme expression of military power and
fleets and armies, however vital and important, must accept a subordinate rank.
Winston Churchill
Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do
it.

Mohandas Gandhi
Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.
Mohandas Gandhi
All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love,
compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily
lives.
Dalai Lama
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes,
a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend
- or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible.
From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and
others will come.
Dalai Lama
Violence has been Nicaragua's most important export to the world.
Ronald Reagan
It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from
lynching me, and I think that's pretty important.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in
being hip.
John Lennon
It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.
John Wooden
We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive.
Wayne Dyer
You are important enough to ask and you are blessed enough to receive back.
Wayne Dyer
What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball
player.
John Wooden
There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one
of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.
John Wooden
For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better

information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects,

which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
Benjamin Franklin
I think the most important factor in getting out of the recession actually is just the
regenerative capacity of - of American capitalism.
Warren Buffett
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only
thing it cannot be is moderately important.
C. S. Lewis
Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition between
careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career.
Barack Obama
I think it is important for Europe to understand that even though I am president and
George Bush is not president, Al Qaeda is still a threat.
Barack Obama
And so our goal on health care is, if we can get, instead of health care costs going up
6 percent a year, it's going up at the level of inflation, maybe just slightly above
inflation, we've made huge progress. And by the way, that is the single most
important thing we could do in terms of reducing our deficit. That's why we did it.
Barack Obama
Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on
the "gotta have it" scale.
Zig Ziglar
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends
with anyone else in the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it
with courage and with the best that you have to give.
Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm so glad I never feel important, it does complicate life!
Eleanor Roosevelt
Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they're doing and saying in
films right now just shouldn't be allowed. There's no dignity anymore and I think
that's very important.
Mae West
Personality is the most important thing to an actress's success.
Mae West
Life is too important to be taken seriously.
Oscar Wilde
