Philosophies

I've never liked using quotes when debating something as I've never agreed with the idea of putting someone else's words in my mouth. But I was reading through a book of them that was given to me as a present quite a while ago, and some of them made me think.

Here are a few that I found that got me thinking about England and our football.

"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person."
Dr. David M. Burns

"Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, 'I have failed three times,' and what happens when he says, 'I'm a failure.'"
S(amuel) I(chiye) Hayakawa

"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm."
Winston Churchill

I'm not trying to take credit for any of these. Like I said, I found them in a book and they got me thinking.
