8 Direction Quotes
It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Thomas Paine

I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.
Douglas Adams

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Henry David Thoreau

Direction is more important than speed. We are so busy looking at our speedometers that we forget the milestone.
Henry David Thoreau
Quotes

In no direction that we turn do we find ease or comfort. If we are honest and if we have the will to win we find only danger, hard work and iron resolution.
Wendell L. Willkie

It’s time we framed every question - every issue -- not in terms of what’s in it for ‘me,’ but what’s in it for all of us? And when you ask that simple question - what’s in it for all of us? - the direction not taken in America could not be more clear or compelling.
Senator John Kerry

To win true peace, a man needs to feel himself directed, pardoned, and sustained by a supreme power, to feel himself in the right road, at the point where God would have him be - in order with God and the universe. This faith gives strength and calm.
Henri Frederic Amiel
