Stimulus Quotations
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl Real economic stimulus comes from real investment. Tim Bishop I am content with nothing, restless and ambitious... and I despise myself for the vanity, which formed half the stimulus to my exertions. Oh would that I were one of those plodding wise fools who having once set their hand to the plough go on nothing doubting. Thomas Huxley There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in us. Orison Swett Marden Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative. Alfred Adler |
