A couple of motivational quotes

I've been thinking of writing about the quotes in my little quotes box, although in all honesty some people get quoted saying the most obvious things. I reckon they're only quoted because they're well-known, not because they actually said something worth thinking about.

"Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent."

-Napoleon Bonaparte

Anyone can figure that out. Argue all you like that it makes some kind of statement or something but I'll not be convinced. That isn't really a very good quote at all. Surely to make a point he would rather have said that the ten thousand made more noise than the noisy ten? Hmm.

Anyway, a couple of lovely, motivational quotes from the ever wonderful Dr Seuss.

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”
