Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
William Faulkner As for the United States' future in Afghanistan, it will be fire and hell and total defeat, God willing, as it was for their predecessors - the Soviets and, before them, the British. Mohammed Omar Barack Obama is a truly flabbergasting President. And in a good way - not the way some of his predecessors were. He's not flabberghastly. He's not the student who wears a button that says, 'Smartest kid in class,' but clearly he is, at least when surrounded by the White House press corps. Tom Shale Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. William Faulkner Don't speak ill of your predecessors or successors. You didn't walk in their shoes. Donald Rumsfeld Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors. Jim Morrison I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well. George W. Bush In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters. Paul Gauguin It is preposterous that the current members of the United States Senate and all of their predecessors for more than 200 years haven't been able to read the Constitution and do what it says. John Jay Hooker Like their predecessors, the Presidents of today just throw up their hands. Stephen Ambrose My first attempts to transmit typhus to laboratory animals, including the smaller species of monkeys, had failed, as had those of my predecessors, for reasons which I can easily supply today. Charles Jules Henry Nicole No philosopher understands his predecessors until he has re-thought their thought in his own contemporary terms. Peter Frederick Strawson Progress is the injustice each generation commits with regard to its predecessors. Emile M. Cioran Through the years you, the Delaware State family and your predecessors, have faced many challenges. You worked through them with fierce determination and good will, and you have made great progress. Michael N. Castle To this day I always insist on working out a problem from the beginning without reading up on it first, a habit that sometimes gets me into trouble but just as often helps me see things my predecessors have missed. Robert B. Laughlin Visit with your predecessors from previous Administrations. They know the ropes and can help you see around some corners. Try to make original mistakes, rather than needlessly repeating theirs. Donald Rumsfeld We have to hate our immediate predecessors to get free of their authority. David Herbert Lawrence We must not be content to memorize the beautiful formulas of our illustrious predecessors. Let us go out and study beautiful nature. Paul Cezanne You want to do something that shows some type individuality and talent and imagination - at the same time, you want to be truthful to the predecessors, because obviously the audience liked something about them and you have to replicate that experience to a certain extent.
