Self Improvement Quotes

#1. Each store will fulfil some of your needs, but no individual store can meet all of your needs. Learning how to set realistic expectations now and in future relationships requires you to examine each of the existing stores to see what they can offer. #Quote by Janet Crain

#2. He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all. #Quote by Miguel De Cervantes

#4. The journey into wholeness means we have to learn to respect the other voice that speaks within us. It means to pay attention to our emotions, thoughts, dreams and fantasies even when they're unpleasant and objectionable. #Quote by Bud Harris

#10. A champion always prepares to win. #Quote by D.C. Gonzalez

#11. When April with its sweet showers has pierced the drought of March to the root, and bathed every vein of earth with that liquid by whose power the flowers are engendered; when the zephyr, too, with its dulcet breath, has breathed life into the tender new shoots in every copse and on every hearth, and the young sun has run half his course in the sign of the Ram, and the little birds that sleep all night with their eyes open give song (so Nature prompts them in their hearts), then, as the poet Geoffrey Chaucer observed many years ago, folk long to go on pilgrimages. Only, these days, professional people call them conferences.
The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement. To be sure, there are certain penitential exercises to be performed - the presentation of a paper, perhaps, and certainly listening to papers of others. #Quote by David Lodge

#12. People exercise the freedom to present themselves from a vast array of precepts. The modern human mind can engage in reflective thought and selectively determine how to organize the elements of perception. We can consciously elect to depart from stereotypical behavior and transcend the heretofore-established biological behavioral preferences. People can elect to hold prejudices or not, can make rational or irrational decisions to engage in war or not, and can take deliberate steps to arrest destruction of the ecosystem or not. Holding ourselves in check by placing a brake upon the human propensity to strike out in instinctual behavior is a distinct human quality. Restraint from instant gratification of strong impulses represents a unique human behavior trait. By intentionally refraining from committing an instinctual action, humankind asserts its sovereignty from its biological constitution. Unbound from the limitations of its biological nature, a person can employ the mind to devise alternative behavioral choices and the results of numerous behavioral choices culminate to provide a person with a sophisticated definition of the self. #Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

#13. You can only see progress when you start doing something, so don't expect anything without your efforts. #Quote by Auliq Ice

#14. Not every hurt kid is bad, and not every bad kid is hurt. Like everyone else on the planet, they're individuals. And we need to take our time identifying who is who, and what is what,
for each and every one of them who appears to be struggling with life. #Quote by LaTasha “Tacha B.” Braxton

#15. If you do not work on self- improvement or do not develop strength of character, you will be inclined to succumb to the opinions of the people surrounding you or to the standards criminally imposed on you by the society #Quote by Sunday Adelaja

#16. Self-development is a higher duty than self-sacrifice. #Quote by Elizabeth Cady Stanton

#17. It's the days you have every right to breakdown and fall apart, yet choose to show up anyway that matter most. Don't diminish the small steps that others can't see. #Quote by Brittany Burgunder

#18. The improvement of our way of life is more important than the spreading of it. If we make it satisfactory enough, it will spread automatically. If we do not, no strength of arms can permanently oppose it. #Quote by Charles Lindbergh

#19. Every day, work harder on yourself than anything else. 'Cause if you become more intelligent, more valuable, more skilled, you can add more value to other people. #Quote by Tony Robbins

#21. You are essentially who you create yourself to be and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making. #Quote by Stephen Richards

#22. There's a whole list of things I would probably change about myself. For example, I'm always trying to lose fifteen pounds. But I never need to be skinny. I don't want to be skinny. I'm constantly in a state of self-improvement but I don't beat myself up over it. #Quote by Mindy Kaling

#23. There are no insensitive hearts, just hearts that don`t find it profitable anymore to feel. #Quote by Angelos Michalopoulos

#24. It meant that New York philanthropists, New York society, would now rediscover the library ... that learning, books, education have glamour, that self-improvement has glamour, that hope has glamour. #Quote by Vartan Gregorian

they keep telling about you
over and over again.

you are not even the story
you keep telling yourself.

there are no lines
that can hold you.

there are not enough words
for all the more that you are. #Quote by AVA.

#26. How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself and in no instance bypass the discriminations of reason? You have been given the principles that you ought to endorse, and you have endorsed them. What kind of teacher, then, are you still waiting for in order to refer your self-improvement to him? You are no longer a boy, but a full-grown man. If you are careless and lazy now and keep putting things off and always deferring the day after which you will attend to yourself, you will not notice that you are making no progress, but you will live and die as someone quite ordinary.
From now on, then, resolve to live as a grown-up who is making progress, and make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside. And whenever you encounter anything that is difficult or pleasurable, or highly or lowly regarded, remember that the contest is now: you are at the Olympic Games, you cannot wait any longer, and that your progress is wrecked or preserved by a single day and a single event. That is how Socrates fulfilled himself by attending to nothing except reason in everything he encountered. And you, although you are not yet a Socrates, should live as someone who at least wants to be a Socrates. #Quote by Epictetus

#27. By making yourself a life-long leaner you'll keep discovering new and exciting things about yourself and others. #Quote by Rachel Robins

#33. To maximize our lives we think that we should get up and join in the race. Yet, we rarely consider that maybe it's less about joining a race and more about actually creating one. #Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

#34. When you begin to reason with the Lord, your attitude to the issues of life will change. #Quote by Jaachynma N.E. Agu

#35. We are more alike than different. We Are One. #Quote by Efrat Cybulkiewicz

#36. The past is dead except for the life you give it #Quote by Myles Munroe

#37. Here I encounter the most popular fallacy of our times. It is not considered sufficient that the law should guarantee to every citizen the free and inoffensive use of his faculties for physical, intellectual and moral self-improvement. Instead, it is demanded that the law should directly extend welfare, education, and morality throughout the nation. This is the seductive lure of socialism. And I repeat: these two uses of the law are in direct contradiction to each other. #Quote by Frederic Bastiat

#38. Rather than torture ourselves and others about our shortcomings, we can approach life with an attitude of curious delight. And the delight part is just as important as the curious. #Quote by Joseph Deitch

#39. She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time; but alas! Alas! She must confess to herself that she was not wise yet. #Quote by Jane Austen

#40. How is it possible, as you get to know someone better, to realize how good his past is at not letting you find out anything more about him? #Quote by Angelos Michalopoulos

#44. In life, most decisions are a case of let go to get. #Quote by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe

#45. Most are constantly asking for more, but with that comes more responsibility and most aren't willing to or able to handle that. Greatness comes at a cost and requires an investment. If you don't want the work.... you don't want the prize. #Quote by Randa Manning-Johnson

#46. When it comes to progress, the process of discovering which incentives will help you move forward is a large part of the equation. #Quote by Oscar Auliq-Ice

#47. If you are still breathing, do not stop learning. #Quote by Lailah Gifty Akita

#48. Try to be likeable but stay true to your self. There will be times when you have to do or say something at the expense of being popular. If you've built up enough goodwill, you'll get away with it. People understand that difficult decisions have to be made and, if you've paid enough into your 'likeability deposit', they will hate the decision but not the person making it.

There may be moments in your life when you have to choose between 'being liked' and what you really want to do. Imagine your future spouse is a vegan and does not enjoy being with people who eat meat. Could you imagine putting aside your beliefs and feelings, to show support, love and understanding for your partner's? #Quote by Nigel Cumberland

#49. Life is a journey, a ride of endless means and emotions. #Quote by Mary V. Pate

Be Gentle My Friend
Be gentle with yourself,
forgive yourself for mistakes,
don't expect to be perfect
just get moving, and
keep putting one
foot in front of
the other
Love

work spheres.

Cultivate happiness as the most precious flower in your Garden.
- From HAPPY DIVORCE, by Rossana Condoleo
gardenRossana Condoleo #Quote by Rossana Condoleo

#59. The question is why one should be so inwardly preoccupied at all. Why not reach out to others in love and solidarity or peer into the natural world for some glimmer of understanding? Why retreat into anxious introspection when, as Emerson might have said, there is a vast world outside to explore? Why spend so much time working on oneself when there is so much real work to be done? #Quote by Barbara Ehrenreich

#70. The "answer" doesn't come in a formula or a one-sentence aphorism. Rather, the path to ongoing enlightenment begins by loosening our death grip on our opinions, beliefs, and ingrained behavior. When we let go, we create space to let in new insights and observations - we explore, we expand, and we become more aware. Letting go and opening up allows us to confront repressed feelings and fears, and allows love and compassion to flourish. That's why one person's "answer" might offer little insight to someone else. #Quote by Joseph Deitch

#77. It's not the end of the road, it's just the end of the road work. #Quote by Mary-Ellen Peters

#78. That is the paradox of the human condition. If we humbly accept that our experience of reality is constrained, we immediately loosen the chains that bind us, and we begin to expand. #Quote by Joseph Deitch

#79. In search of myself, I have created myself. #Quote by Ljupka Cvetanova

#80. I believe depression is legitimate.

But I also believe that if you don't:

-eat nutritious foods

-consume positive material
-surround yourself with support

Then you aren't giving yourself a fighting chance. #Quote by Matt Stephens

#81. Whenever we find ourselves stuck, whenever we find ourselves lost or confused by the chaos of the world, we can be sure that the only way to free ourselves is to take action of some kind.

each other up so that you
can see your own magic. #Quote by Kristen Lee

#89. Are you willing to care enough to get hurt? #Quote by Michele McKnight Baker

#90. Reading, writing, and personal introspection will not protect us from hardship and suffering, but they might introduce us to critical thinking and expose us to what is good in humankind and beautiful in the world that we share with all of nature. Contemplative thought, especially that supplemented with reading literature and attempting to write our own replies to the echoing voices of writers whom preceded us provide us with the potentiality for change, the possibility of personal illumination that enables us to experience a heighted quality of life. #Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

#98. For spiritual change, we need to see and understand ourselves. What sees is consciousness, it is what perceives, and is essentially what we are. To understand ourselves we need to look within and study how we think and feel, and doing that is called self-observation. #Quote by Belsebuub

#111. Libraries are not just for reading in, but for sociable thinking, exploring, exchanging ideas and falling in love. They were never silent. Technology will not change that, for even in the starchiest heyday of Victorian self-improvement, libraries were intended to be meeting places of the mind, recreational as well as educational. #Quote by Ben Macintyre

#132. I am what my past allows me to be. #Quote by Angelos Michalopoulos

#133. Because much of the content of education is not cognitively natural, the process of mastering it may not always be easy and pleasant, notwithstanding the mantra that learning is fun. Children may be innately motivated to make friends, acquire status, hone motor skills, and explore the physical world, but they are not necessarily motivated to adapt their cognitive faculties to unnatural tasks like formal mathematics. A family, peer group, and culture that ascribe high status to school achievement may be needed to give a child the motive to persevere toward effortful feats of learning whose rewards are apparent only over the long term. #Quote by Steven Pinker

#150. Pity moment, blah! Let's turn it around! We do not even need to go into the story of it. We acknowledge this moment and release it. We love and accept and forgive ourselves. And we acknowledge that this is a tiny stitch, a brief pinprick in the needlepoints we are creating of our lives. And we also acknowledge that this lifetime of ours is but a tiny little stitch in the ever-expanding, infinite needlepoint of the Universe. Self-pity is not a reason good enough for us to be out of alignment with peace. #Quote by Alaric Hutchinson

#158. Shortsighted people make [experientialism and social reform] opposites, mutually exclusive. [...] The empirical fact is that self-actualizing people, our best experiencers, are also our most compassionate, our great improvers and reformers of society, our most effective fighters against injustice, inequality, slavery, cruelty, exploitation (and also our best fighters for excellence, effectiveness, competence). And it also becomes clearer and clearer that our best 'helpers' are the most fully human persons. What I may call the bodhisattvic path is an integration of self-improvement and social zeal, i.e., the best way to become a better 'helper' is to become a better person. #Quote by Abraham H. Maslow

#159. When you really want something, and you couple that with an understanding of your nature, of your spiritual being, and the law that govern you, you will keep going, regardless of what's happened. Nothing will stop you. #Quote by Bob Proctor

#162. Self-knowledge is the greatest education. #Quote by Lailah Gifty Akita

#163. Rethink Your Mindset because ... The view your brain builds and automatically adopts ... of yourself, profoundly affects the way you think, feel and act-moment to moment, and the results you create. #Quote by Tony Dovale

#164. If we seek spiritual heroism ourselves, the old ego is just back in control under a new name. There would not really be any change at all, but only disguise, just bogus self-improvement on our own terms. #Quote by Richard Rohr

#165. Too many people would rather fight to the death to defend their bullhead positions. Tyrone was impressed whenever someone changed their mind. It meant acting on reason, and with reason came self-improvement. #Quote by Jack Kilborn

#166. Show up as the
real you. The
airbrushed you

#167. When the Prince comes into your life, you will stop thinking and start reasoning. #Quote by Jaachynma N.E. Agu

#168. Be the best at what you do #Quote by Richard Branson

#169. A person whom seeks self-improvement must design specific tasks that instigate learning. #Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

#170. A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself. #Quote by Alexander Graham Bell

#171. That a work of the imagination has to be "really" about some problem is, again, an heir of Socialist Realism. To write a story for the sake of storytelling is frivolous, not to say reactionary.

The demand that stories must be "about" something is from Communist thinking and, further back, from religious thinking, with its desire for self-improvement books as simple-minded as the messages on samplers.

The phrase "political correctness" was born as Communism was collapsing. I do not think this was chance. I am not suggesting that the torch of Communism has been handed on to the political correctors. I am suggesting that habits of mind have been absorbed, often without knowing it.

There is obviously something very attractive about telling other people what to do: I am putting it in this nursery way rather than in more intellectual language because I see it as nursery behavior. Art - the arts generally - are always unpredictable, maverick, and tend to be, at their best, uncomfortable. Literature, in particular, has always inspired the House committees, the Zhdanovs, the fits of moralizing, but, at worst, persecution. It troubles me that political correctness does not seem to know what its exemplars and predecessors are; it troubles me more that it may know and does not care.

Does political correctness have a good side? Yes, it does, for it makes us re-examine attitudes, and that is always useful. The trouble is that, with all #Quote by Doris Lessing

#172. #embrace your hard times.
"God already knows what we're made of, but perhaps He wants us to learn what we're made of. I think we would all agree that we learn more from our tough times than from our easy times." ~John Bytheway #QuotesForLife #Quote by John Bytheway

#173. We are forever becoming! We never arrive, as long as we are on this side of Heaven there is more to learn. #Quote by DeBorrah K. Ogans

#174. Start dream building. See yourself at you best. Transform yourself with determination. #Quote by Mark LaMoure

#175. Your thought should be creative and not destructive; it should be full of hope and faith for a more excellent future. #Quote by Jaachynma N.E. Agu

#176. The only excuse for not improving yourself is not taking the time and effort to. #Quote by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe

#177. There are times when you have to do things for yourself, not because no one else can do it, but because no one else can do it to the degree you want. #Quote by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe

#178. There are limits to self-improvement. Inevitably you hit the point where what you are is, well, what you are, and all the teach-yourself videos and easy-to-use equipment on those creatinous home TV shopping things can no longer ward off you confrontation with your self. #Quote by Jessica Zafra

#179. You tend to become like that, what you want most. It is up to you to make it happen. Expect the best and work hard. Dedicate yourself to full success. #Quote by Mark F. LaMoure

#180. Like beliefs, in most cases, we don't create our values ... others do. #Quote by Maddy Malhotra

#181. Aspire to do anything, start something and stop at nothing. #Quote by Kayambila Mpulamasaka

#182. You know Americans ... Self-improvement. No matter who or what we are, we're always working on ways to become somebody else. #Quote by Alan Brown

#183. People try to build their identity around external things such as appearance and the clothes at the expense of neglecting the inner values of who they really are #Quote by Sunday Adelaja

#184. Deprived of all forms of memory, people would act only to satiate the immediacy of their base cravings. Without past memories acting as guidepost, humankind's dynamics diminish to the entropy of commission and reaction. The desire to achieve lastingness would be frivolous without appreciation of our joint history. In absence of historical awareness, there could be no culture dialogue or community inwardness. Absent historical awareness, there would be no evolving community consciousness and there would be no social engine capable of generating any communities' battery of self-determinacy. Self-improvement would be frivolous without forging an intimate relationship with our historiology as well as familiarity with the account of select people's exhibited character traits that we might wish to emulate. Notions of personal pliancy and individual lability would lose its root structure without the prongs of memory to provide the necessary griddle and supporting trusses to configure and provide cohesion for our developing sense of selfhood. #Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

#185. If I listened to all the noise in the world
I would have many standards to conform to But the zeal to succeed
Cuts through the racket #Quote by Priscilla Koranteng

#186. It's only when we are able to exceed our rigid interpretations, and we start defining love in it's totality, that we realize that love is everywhere #Quote by Julian Pencilliah

#187. We all must determine what types of anatomical castanets vest in our central core. For aught we know, we still tend to think of ourselves as a complete and fixed product. In reality, analogous to an unfinished paper, working from the inside out, we are retooling ourselves every day whether we recognize the minor or major tinkering taking place or not. In a neurological sense, the brain is constantly working to build and rebuild itself. In a psychological sense, every day the human mind is altering who we are. We constantly take in new information that modifies and enhances our understanding of the world and our place in the environment. Every day we are using the sense of self and our accumulated knowledge to adapt to our world and modify our thinking and behavior. #Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

#188. You are the owner and keeper of your word. Distribute them wisely. #Quote by Tim Hollingworth

#189. Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. #Quote by George Bernard Shaw

#190. Positive thinking is great, if you'll take action. #Quote by Guy Harduf

#191. Self-improvement and practice are the golden tools for earning the award of excellence. #Quote by Mark F. LaMoure

#192. Life is too complicated not to be orderly. #Quote by Martha Stewart

#193. You can learn from mistakes only when you realize you made one. #Quote by Yasmin Tajuddin

#194. People don't care about this kind of stuff, ya know? We want self-improvement, not self-knowledge. We want change," he motioned with his hands in a strange attempt to mock modern-day hipsters' version of change, "But not for any particular reason. We want to do good deeds but only if we can tell others about it. We want all sorts of ideals, not for their own sake, but rather for the sake of appearances. We don't want knowledge; we want to show others we have knowledge. #Quote by Cic Mellace

#195. There comes a point when we have to say, I'm here to love my life, and to figure out who I am...Not who you think I should be #Quote by Sharon Pearson

#196. There is no worse parent than an unhappy parent! #Quote by Rossana Condoleo

#197. Of course, competition against others is there, but it should serve to challenge you. To show you how well other people are competing against themselves. #Quote by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe

#198. ...the soreness of growth is so much less expensive than the devastating costs of regret #Quote by Robin S. Sharma

#199. Before you get mad of someone, find something heshe did for you that deserve gratitude #Quote by Asmaa Dokmak

#200. Doing our imperfect best means accepting that there will often be mistakes, flaws, and rough edges. These mistakes, flaws, and rough edges add to the beauty of who we are and provide us with the power to connect with others. #Quote by Jason W. Freeman

#201. When Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962, only five Americans had previously been so honored. Accepting the prize in Stockholm, he gave an impassioned speech in which he argued that "the ancient commission of the writer has not changed. He is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement. #Quote by John Steinbeck

#202. Naples was the great European metropolis where faith in technology, in science, in economic development, in the kindness of nature, in history that leads of necessity to improvement, in democracy, was revealed, most clearly and far in advance, to be completely without foundation. #Quote by Elena Ferrante

#203. Brilliance doesn't depend only on talk and flair, even though we're sometimes tempted to believe so. Brilliance depends on believing in the hard work you're capable of doing, but it also depends on believing in your potential, believing in your minds, believing in your heart. Brilliance sometimes relies on believing in your talents before you have any evidence that they're there. What a luxury, to take such an enormous leap of faith, without hesitation!
Because even as I've worked hard year after year for more than twenty years now, as I've polished my work and demanded steady improvement from myself and asked myself to do better, I realize that for all of the concrete skills I've gained, nothing takes the place of truly believing that my ideas and words have a right to be taken seriously. And if I believed enough in my talents years ago to own them, who knows what I could've created? #Quote by Heather Havrilesky

#204. It is impossible to improve any process until it is standardized. If the process is shifting from here to there, then any improvement will just be one more variation that is occasionally used and mostly ignored. One must standardize, and thus stabilize the process, before continuous improvement can be made. #Quote by Masaaki Imai

#205. Let you look to your own improvement before you go to judge your husband anymore. #Quote by John Proctor

#206. When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. #Quote by Karen Martin

#207. If you have early success, do your best to ignore the praise and keep pushing yourself to the edges of your ability, where improvement happens. If you don't have early success, don't quit. Instead, treat your early efforts as experiments, not as verdicts. Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. #Quote by Daniel Coyle

#208. In its place welled up that same dismay she'd known on her first viewing, some ten months past, of a naked man. Whose idea of good design was this? Why those awkward angles, and what could be the necessity for all that hair? If one believed, as the Bible and the Greek myths had it, that man had been created first and woman after, then one must conclude there had been some dramatic improvement in the process following that amateurish first attempt. #Quote by Cecilia Grant

#209. Broken by hardships, disappointments and tragedy, people can become discouraged and cynical. But lives can also be mended. Put back together well, they won't be just like they were before. Damaged pieces reassembled with a golden bonding of patience and love will help form a person into an exquisite masterpiece. It is as if people have to be broken before they can become whole and complete. #Quote by Steve Goodier

#210. Humanity may endure the loss of everything; all its possessions may be turned away without infringing its true dignity - all but the possibility of improvement. #Quote by Johann Gottlieb Fichte

#211. Before any change for the better can take place, a level of understanding is always needed; because without understanding we tend to fall back on the automatic responses and reactions that we have built up over our lives. #Quote by Gyalwa Dokhampa

#212. Natural science is founded on minute critical views of the general order of events taking place upon our globe, corrected, enlarged, or exalted by experiments, in which the agents concerned are placed under new circumstances, and their diversified properties separately examined. The body of natural science, then, consists of facts; is analogy, - the relation of resemblance of facts by which its different parts are connected, arranged, and employed, either for popular use, or for new speculative improvements. #Quote by Humphry Davy

#213. In general, the apparel industry isn't about continual process improvement or making the perfect piece of denim; it's about chasing trends. #Quote by Tadashi Yanai

#214. You need to have a passionate interest in why things are happening. That cast of mind, kept over long periods, gradually improves your ability to focus on reality. If you don't have the cast of mind, you're destined for failure even if you have a high I.Q. #Quote by Charlie Munger

#215. Progress is the only road going there. #Quote by T Jay Taylor

#216. Improvement is nature. #Quote by Leigh Hunt

#217. Not every change is an improvement but every improvement is a change; you can't do anything BETTER unless you can manage to do it DIFFERENTLY, you've got to let yourself do better than other people! #Quote by Eliezer Yudkowsky

#218. By questioning all the aspects of our business, we continuously inject improvement and innovation into our culture. #Quote by Michael Dell

#219. Try this: Identify a bottom-up improvement or innovation in your organization, and interview the person who championed it. Chances are you will find a hero story of some kind. Why do we have to be heroes to implement perfectly good ideas? #Quote by Alan G. Robinson

#220. The Aztecs and the Elizabethans looked into their mirrors to discern danger. Today those who peer into the future want only relief from anxiety. Unable to face the prospect that the cycles of war will continue, they are desperate to find a pattern of improvement in history. It is only natural that believers in reason, lacking any deeper faith and too feeble to tolerate doubt, should turn to the sorcery of numbers. Happily there are some who are ready to assist them. Just as the Elizabethan magus transcribed tables shown to him by angels, the modern scientific scryer deciphers numerical auguries of angels hidden in ourselves. #Quote by John N. Gray

#221. Spend some time this weekend on home improvement; improve your attitude toward your family. #Quote by Bo Bennett

#222. To be a futurist, in pursuit of improving reality, is not to have your face continually turned upstream, waiting for the future to come. To improve reality is to clearly see where you are, and then wonder how to make that better. #Quote by Warren Ellis

#223. Every day, and in every way, I am becoming better and better. #Quote by Emile Coue

#224. If I can in any way contribute to the Diversion or Improvement of the Country in which I live, I shall leave it, when I am summoned out of it, with the secret Satisfaction of thinking that I have not lived in vain. #Quote by Joseph Addison

#225. I am not nostalgic about things. When you have a kind of improvement, I am not nostalgic about the past. #Quote by Pierre Boulez

#226. The history of human knowledge has so uninterruptedly shown that to collateral, or incidental, or accidental events we are indebted for the most numerous and most valuable discoveries, that it has at length become necessary, in any prospective view of improvement, to make not only large, but the largest allowances for inventions that shall arise by chance, and quite out of the range of ordinary expectation. It is no longer philosophical to base, upon what has been, a vision of what is to be. Accident is admitted as a portion of the substructure. We make chance a matter of absolute calculation. We subject the unlooked for and unimagined, to the mathematical formulae of the schools. #Quote by Edgar Allan Poe

#227. Observe your imperfections. Love them. Then move through them. #Quote by Matthew Donnelly

#228. Greatness is only achieved by those who strive constantly for improvement #Quote by Carey Decevito

#229. Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the nation by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate duties, by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, commodities their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment, by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of law, and by observing strict economy in every department of the state. Let the Government do this: the People will assuredly do the rest. #Quote by Thomas B. Macaulay

#230. Tis easier to prevent bad habits than to break them. #Quote by Benjamin Franklin

#231. Constantly think about how you could be doing things better. #Quote by Elon Musk

#232. The message of the Kaizen strategy is that not a day should go by without some kind of improvement being made somewhere in the company. #Quote by Masaaki Imai

#233. All organisms vary. It is in the highest degree improbable that any given variety should have exactly the same relations to surrounding conditions as the parent stock. In that case it is either better fitted (when the variation may be called useful), or worse fitted, to cope with them. If better, it will tend to supplant the parent stock; if worse, it will tend to be extinguished by the parent stock.

If (as is hardly conceivable) the new variety is so perfectly adapted to the conditions that no improvement upon it is possible, - it will persist, because, though it does not cease to vary, the varieties will be inferior to itself.

If, as is more probable, the new variety is by no means perfectly adapted to its conditions, but only fairly well adapted to them, it will persist, so long as none of the varieties which it throws off are better adapted than itself.

On the other hand, as soon as it varies in a useful way, i.e. when the variation is such as to adapt it more perfectly to its conditions, the fresh variety will tend to supplant the former. #Quote by Thomas Henry Huxley

#234. Treating your users as co-developers is your least-hassle route to rapid code improvement and effective debugging. #Quote by Eric S. Raymond
