Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “To hard necessity ones will and fancy must conform.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “To hard necessity ones will and fancy must conform.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Related Quotes “If you really look at the ones that ended up, you know, being ‘successful’ in the eyes of society and the ones that didn’t, oftentimes, it’s the ones who were successful and loved what they did so they could persevere, you know, when it got really tough. And the ones that didn’t love it quit because they’re sane, right? Who would want to put up with this stuff if you don’t love it?” -Steve Jobs “It is that same fear, the fear of ostracism that causes people to conform and not question commonly accepted opinions or popular trends.” -Robert Kiyosaki “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 and 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 crazy, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs “The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great leaders are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don’t know. The great leaders can’t do everything; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don’t see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.” -Simon Sinek “Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower “Necessity… the mother of invention.” -Plato “A person places themselves on a level with the ones they praise.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “The people who are doing what you want to do – the ones at the top of your field, the ones you look up to – all started right where you are now. They all had their own trials and obstacles. The only difference between them and you is their persistence and their drive.” -Les Brown “You are more than capable of doing the work to change anything for the better, despite how you feel. Feelings are merely suggestions, ones you can ignore. To change you must do the same, you must ignore how you feel, and just do it anyway.” -Mel Robbins
