25 thoughtful quotes about politics and power

09/04/2025 by

Today, I’ve curated some thoughtful quotes about politics and power.

In doing so, I hope it’ll get you thinking about, and perhaps even participating in, something that rules our lives but isn’t given anywhere near the scrutiny it deserves.

Politicians on all sides frequently take us all for fools, and the sad thing is, we let them. That must change, surely?

They do what they do because they know that they can get away with it, at least most of the time.

It’s time we all let them know that we’ll not allow them to get away with it anymore.

Politics has become nothing more than show business for people who lack both talent and an engaging personality. And yet, they all seem to get rich without adding any real value to our lives at all.

So, let your local politician know that you’re watching them and won’t tolerate any nonsense.

5 powerful quotes and the wisdom within

09/02/2025 by

Today, dear reader, I offer you five powerful quotes.

Not only that, I’ve added some thoughts that reflect the wisdom within these powerful quotes.

In other words, I aim to offer you some words of wisdom to inspire and motivate you. I hope this inspiration will get you thinking and, perhaps even, propel you down the road toward success. I hope so anyway.

Enjoy these powerful quotes, and please feel free to share them.

POWERFUL QUOTES
Make Money

Powerful Quotes:

1. Formula for Living:

Do you want to know my formula for living? I get up in the morning, and I go to bed at night. In between, I do the very best I can with what I’ve got, and I never, ever give up. ~Roy Sutton

Life doesn’t have to be complicated.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to get started, then the perfect moment is always right now.

Just get started and do what you can with whatever you’ve got.

No one gets dealt a perfect hand in life.

So play the cards you’ve been dealt and play them as well as you can. Always play to your strengths and keep going.

You’ll get there in the end.

If you can achieve your full potential and leave a lasting legacy behind, then yours will have been a life well lived.

2. Good health:

To keep the body in good health is a duty. Otherwise, we will not be able to keep our minds strong and clear. ~Buddha

A couple of years ago, I was reminded of the importance of taking care of my own health. I was struck down with a kidney infection, and I spent a week in the hospital receiving treatment to help me get over it.

It felt like a week of my life was lost. Not being able to do all the things I’d taken for granted proved very frustrating for me.

Generally, I’ve always tried to look after myself, but I was still unwell. So I’ll try a lot harder in the future.

Never again do I want to feel that unwell.

My time is precious, so above all, I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost any more of it. That would seem like such a waste to me.

If you don’t have your health, then you don’t have very much at all.

3. Happiness:

Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it’s something you design for the present. ~Jim Rohn

Postponing your happiness until some unspecified future date would be like putting off having fun until your old age.

Why would that make sense to anyone?

We must be happy in the present moment.

Life isn’t perfect, and for almost everyone, it’s full of challenges, but it’s not all bad.

Happiness is a state of mind.

It’s a willingness to enjoy whatever it is that you have now and a determination not to worry about anything you don’t have.

You look for the positives in your life and try to forget about the negatives.

People often fret about things they don’t have, yet they fail to appreciate the good things in their lives.

Things like family and friends. And things like having a good laugh, too.

In reality, we can live without most stuff, despite what we might think.

It’s people who matter most. People include family, friends, workmates, and ordinary individuals we meet every day throughout our lives.

So enjoy what you have and forget about what you don’t have. You’ll be happier that way.

4. Attitude:

The choice to have a great attitude is something that nobody or no circumstance can take from you. ~Zig Ziglar

Let me tell you, nothing makes a better impression on me than someone with a great attitude.

And nothing makes a worse impression on me than someone with a bad attitude.

Your attitude defines you, and it will also shape your life experiences. That’s a fact, in my experience.

If you’re a Rock star or a Gangsta Rapper then perhaps a little attitude goes with the territory if you aim to appeal to a teenage constituency.

Occasionally, even in the real world, a little attitude might secure you an outcome you wouldn’t otherwise get simply because whoever you’re annoying wants to get rid of you.

However, mostly, a bad attitude will not get you anywhere worth going. Don’t be fooled into thinking otherwise.

You can choose to have a great attitude or not. That choice is yours, and so will be the consequences of your choice.

Take a tip from someone who knows: a positive attitude will beat a negative one every day, every week, every month, and every year. Simple!

5. Never, ever give up:

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. ~Thomas A. Edison

To succeed at anything, you must never, ever give up.

Yes, it’s hard, of course. It’s meant to be.

Nothing worth having ever came easy.

You must keep going until you reach your desired destination.

Yes, you’ll make mistakes. Yes, you’ll stumble from time to time. However, you must keep your eye on the prize.

If you really want it, it can be yours. If you don’t, you’ll give up and then make excuses.

You should always be driven by a desire to achieve your goals.

Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Which one are you?

21 Quotes by Clint Eastwood you’ll just love

08/30/2025 by

If you’re looking for quotes by Clint Eastwood, this post’s for you, dear reader. I think Clint Eastwood has to be one of the coolest movie stars of all time, wouldn’t you agree?

He’s not only a movie star but also a noted filmmaker, musician, and political figure.

In a career of over 60 years, he’s given us so many memorable movies and numerous memorable lines from those movies. However, as a great influencer, he’s also made a few memorable quotes in his public life.

Here are 21 quotes by Clint Eastwood to prove my point.

Some quotes are by Clint as Clint, and some are by Clint playing the many memorable characters he played, such as Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry and, my personal favourite, Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino.

Whether they’re his quotes or those from the characters he’s played, they all give us a reason to reflect on life and the human condition.

So enjoy these 21 quotes by Clint Eastwood and see how many of them you can work into your day.

And for those quotes from his movies, how many of them can you match with the movies from which they came?

Quotes by Clint Eastwood (1-14):

  1. Men must know their limitations.
  2. Tomorrow is promised to no one.
  3. Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.
  4. If you think it’s going to rain, it will.
  5. There’s a rebel lying deep in my soul.
  6. If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.
  7. I tried being reasonable but I didn’t like it.
  8. What you put into life is what you get out of it.
  9. Take your work seriously but don’t take yourself seriously.
  10. They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.
  11. Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.
  12. I’m interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.
  13. Ever noticed how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn’t have messed with? That’s me.
  14. Respect your efforts; respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt that’s real power.

Quotes by Clint Eastwood (15-21):

  1. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation; I have a reverence for individuality.
  2. There are two kinds of people in this world. ‘I’ people and ‘we’ people. I’ve always tried to be a ‘we’ person.
  3. Like most pictures that I’ve done, I’ve had no idea whether anyone would ever want to see ’em. But I figured I’d like to see it.
  4. If a person is confident enough in the way they feel, whether it’s an art form or whether it’s just in life, it comes off. You don’t have anything to prove; you can just be who you are.
  5. Extremism is so easy. You’ve got your position, and that’s it. It doesn’t take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.
  6. Maybe I’m getting to the age when I`m starting to be senile or nostalgic or both, but people are so angry now. You used to be able to disagree with people and still be friends. Now you hear these talk shows, and everyone who believes differently from you is a moron and an idiot – both on the Right and the Left.
  7. I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Bonus Quote:

21 Quotes by Larry David that’ll make you think

08/30/2025 by

Today, I am exploring quotes by Larry David.

If you were a fan of the US sitcom Seinfeld, then you will be familiar with the name Larry David. He was the creator of that series along with Jerry Seinfeld, and for me, it’s one of the finest sitcoms of all time.

Lawrence Gene David, to give Larry David his full name, was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is a comedian, writer, actor, director, and television producer.

Larry David was Seinfeld’s head writer and executive producer from 1989 to 1997. He subsequently gained further recognition for the sitcom series Curb Your Enthusiasm, which he also created, and he stars as a semi-fictionalized version of himself.

Here are 21 quotes by Larry David which might make you think and some might even make you smile. All are well worth a few minutes of your time.

Quotes by Larry David (1-10):

  1. Golf and dating don’t mix.
  2. You write about what you know.
  3. You know, I’m really not that bright.
  4. Women love a self-confident bald man.
  5. I have reservations about everything I do.
  6. My background is degradation and sloth, mostly.
  7. I tend to stay with the panic. I embrace the panic.
  8. If you tell the truth about how you’re feeling, it becomes funny.
  9. Well, after the divorce, I went home and turned all the lights on!
  10. I don’t like to be out of my comfort zone, which is about half an inch wide.

Quotes by Larry David (11-21):

  1. I had a wonderful childhood, which is tough because it’s hard to adjust to a miserable adulthood.
  2. It’s always good to take something that’s happened in your life and make something of it comedically.
  3. I think that what people imagine they’re going through is much worse than what they are going through.
  4. Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair. But a confident bald man? There’s your diamond in the rough.
  5. I wanted to make a living but I really wasn’t interested in money at all. I was interested in being a great comedian.
  6. When you’re not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.
  7. I’m not a person who embraces challenges. I run from challenges. I break world records running from challenges.
  8. Whenever something good happens to me, it’s usually followed by something terrible.
  9. I was very fortunate to hook up with Jerry in the first place. The network was already committed to doing something with him, so I skipped a couple of hundred steps right there.
  10. I think we’re all good and bad, but good’s not funny. Bad is funny. Suppress the good and let the bad out, and then you can be funny.
  11. I’m really only happy when I’m on stage. I just feed off the energy of the audience. That’s what I’m all about – people and laughter.

Please share this post with your friends:

Did you find these quotes by Larry David as interesting and inspirational as you’d hoped dear reader?

You did? I hope so anyway.

If that is the case then please share them with your friends because when you share everyone wins.

10 powerful quotes to propel you down the road to success

08/29/2025 by
10 powerful quotes

Looking for some powerful quotes, dear reader?

You won’t be alone if you are. We all need a little inspiration occasionally to fire a spark within us. The question is, where to start?

Quotes from successful people are always a good place to start, I think.

It’s always worth listening to people who’ve achieved real success.

If they’ve done it successfully, whatever it is, then we can always copy their approach.

And if we copy their approach, then there’s a good chance we can achieve success too. If it worked for them, it might just work for us.

Here are ten powerful quotes from some highly successful individuals. I hope they provide a spark to propel you toward success.

POWERFUL QUOTES

Powerful Quotes:

  1. You have to dream before your dreams can come true. ~A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
  2. All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney
  3. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
  4. To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream; not only plan but also believe. ~Anatole France
  5. If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. ~Jim Rohn
  6. We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. ~Jesse Owens
  7. Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. ~Harriet Tubman
  8. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. ~Swami Vivekananda
  9. You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. ~Steve Jobs
  10. Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ~Steve Jobs

How to love your job when you hate it

08/05/2025 by

How to love your job when you hate it? A question I’ve been asked numerous times. My response is always the same. The best way to appreciate the job you have is to imagine your life without it.

That starts with taking a closer look at what’s good about the job. There’s usually some aspect of the job we enjoy, even if it’s only the swivel chair we sit in.

Life’s too short to hate your job

Do you hate your job, dear reader?

Do you tell everyone, at every opportunity, that you hate your job?

By telling everyone you hate your job, do you imagine they’ll be impressed or, in some way, feel sympathy for you?

Maybe you think that by doing this, your fellow workers will regard you as someone unafraid to speak their mind.

Perhaps you think that in the eyes of your fellow workers, this approach will make you look good.

Hold that thought, and then consider this question. How do you feel about working with someone else who’s always moaning about how unhappy they are at their job?

Do you admire that person?

Do they impress you with their negativity?

I’m guessing your response to this question will be negative. I’m sure you’ll be unimpressed with such people. After all, most of us are.

Everyone hates a moaner

If you imagined that moaning about how unhappy you are was the best way to get people on your side, then seriously, you need to think again. Everyone hates a moaner, whatever indications you’ve heard to the contrary. Let me tell you this: no one’s impressed.

Your colleagues may not say so, but they’ll find your negativity irritating at the very least. It’s probably driving them all nuts.

Life’s short, and it’s hard enough for most people. So having some moaning Minnie constantly bringing them down makes life harder.

Constant negativity is just a pain in the rear for most people.

Imagine your life without your job

If your current mindset means you hate your job right now, then the first thing to do is start changing that mindset. Start by looking at your job differently.

How?

Well, imagine your life without your current job. What would that be like? Think about that question carefully, and be honest with yourself.

Without your job, you’d have nothing to do, no reason to get out of bed, nowhere to go, no sense of purpose, nothing to challenge you, no money, and you’d be without the camaraderie of your fellow workers. You’d probably feel lonely and lack any real social life, too.

How would that make you feel?

Would you feel better about yourself without those things?

I’m sure if you’re honest with yourself, you’ll recognise that work gives us far more than we realise. I don’t think you’d be happy without all those things mentioned above.

So the best way to begin appreciating your job is to imagine your life without it.

No job is perfect

Most jobs come with an element of frustration and a spoonful of tedium. That’s life.

No job is perfect, but no job is all bad either.

It’s just a matter of how you choose to look at things.

If you focus on the bad things, then everything will seem bad. However, if you focus on the good bits, then your job can begin to look very different, and you’ll start to feel more positive about your work.

The fact is, we all need to do something with our time, surely?

Even millionaires need something to fill their time.

There are only so many holidays you can take and so much shopping you can do.

Eventually, everyone needs a sense of purpose, and we all want to feel that we’re making a contribution to the world around us.

Life’s a short movie

Life’s far too short to be unhappy.

So if you hate your job, then you have two choices:

  1. You find another job, or
  2. You start looking differently at your current job.

And before you start searching the vacancy columns or the job websites, think carefully about what you might be throwing away should you leave your current job.

Moving to another job doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be any happier.

Neither will it guarantee that you’ll find the perfect job for you.

So it’s worth thinking seriously about your current job first. At least it’s the devil you know.

Can you begin to look at your current job differently? Perhaps you need a little help.

I really hate my job

Here’s a great motivational speech from the late Zig Ziglar that you might find very useful.

It’s full of great advice and well worth a few minutes of your time.

If you don’t like your job right now, then you really should watch it.

Even if you do like your job, watch it anyway. I found it truly inspirational. So take a look at it now.

Further Listening:

I’m a huge fan of Zig Ziglar, but I recognise that he had an evangelical presentation style that’s not to everyone’s taste.

However, if you can get beyond that presentation style, then his words are inspirational and informative.

I particularly like his audiobooks, which I listen to constantly when I’m driving.

One audiobook I can recommend is:

The Born to Win Seminar

Listen to this, and I promise you it will help you discover your untapped greatness and guide you towards greater success in life.

I bought my copy of this audio program for my library, and it was well worth the price. I listen to it over and over again, and I always find something new in his words.
