The sooner you accept the fact that you will have both successes and failures, the easier it will be to get your business and personal life headed in the right direction.

Go for a business that any idiot can run - because sooner or later, any idiot probably is going to run it.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

The poet or the revolutionary is there to articulate the necessity, but until the people themselves apprehend it, nothing can happen ... Perhaps it can't be done without the poet, but it certainly can't be done without the people. The poet and the people get on generally very badly, and yet they need each other. The poet knows it sooner than the people do. The people usually know it after the poet is dead; but that's all right. The point is to get your work done, and your work is to change the world.

"We are living in a generation where being kind, being a human, being a caring, loving and a helping person holds less value, it doesn't make you a 'cool' person but, that's not true. The sooner you realize this the better it gets for you.

You wish you could've learned to play piano. You wish you could've started drawing when you were young. You wish you could've figured out who you wanted to be before you graduated college. You wish you could've learned to love yourself sooner. Well you know what? You didn't. And that's just something you're going to have to learn to deal with. But just because you didn't do it sooner, doesn't mean you can't start now.

It's creepy because it reminds you that sooner or later you're going to die, that whatever you're good at now won't matter because you'll be dead and gone and no one will care.

Life is so precious, we all are having a very limited time. To access the knowledge of Truth & the Creation.The sooner you get it, the lesser you'll struggle in between the conflicts of Consciousness and Heart

Life makes fools of us all sooner or later. But keep your sense of humor and you'll at least be able to take your humiliations with some measure of grace. In the end, you know, it's our own expectations that crush us." -- from Skippy Dies

We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us. The sooner we get them out the better.

No sooner have you feasted on beauty with your eyes than your mind tells you that beauty is vain and beauty passes

Fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal.

As she bends for a Kleenex in the dark, I am thinking of other girls: the girl I loved who fell in love with a lion--she lost her head over it--we just necked a lot; of the girl who fell in love with the tightrope, got addicted to getting high wired and nothing else was enough; all the beautiful, damaged women who have come through my life and I wonder what would have happened if I'd met them sooner, what they were like before they were so badly wounded. All this time I thought I'd been kissing, but maybe I'm always doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, kissing dead girls in hopes that the heart will start again. Where there's breath, I've heard, there's hope.

Whatever can be threatened, whatever can be shaken, whatever you fear cannot stand, is destined to crash. Do not go down with the ship. Let that which is destined to become the past slip away. Believe that the real you is that which beckons from the future. If it is a sadder you, it will be a wiser one. And dawn will follow the darkness sooner or later. Rebirth can never come without death.

"Remain in wonder if you want the mysteries to open up for you. Mysteries never open up for those who go on questioning. Questioners sooner or later end up in a library. Questioners sooner or later end up with scriptures, because scriptures are full of answers.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

Sooner or later on this journey, every traveller faces the same question: Are you a human intending to be a God, or a God pretending to be human?

I was going to die, sooner or later, whether or not I had even spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silences will not protect you.... What are the words you do not yet have? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence? We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own need for language.

My only regret so far is not having this positive mindset sooner.

My dad said "Stay in school and I'll give you $18k and learn more". I said "I'll leave sooner and give you $18k

If Cinderella were given a single shining epiphany (instead of a fairy Godmother), she would have realized: "This is my father's house. This is my father's estate. I am the rightful heiress to everything here!" then she would have said: "Get off of my property, take nothing with you, and never show your faces to me again! You ugly, bitter, insecure, envious witches!" And I'm sure she would have been happier, sooner!

Sooner or later I will be faced with the fact that the world is helpless to meet my needs. And at that point, I will be left with two conclusions; that life is cruel or God is real.

It was too perfect to last,' so I am tempted to say of our marriage. But it can be meant in two ways. It may be grimly pessimistic - as if God no sooner saw two of His creatures happy than He stopped it ('None of that here!'). As if He were like the Hostess at the sherry-party who separates two guests the moment they show signs of having got into a real conversation. But it could also mean 'This had reached its proper perfection. This had become what it had in it to be. Therefore of course it would not be prolonged.' As if God said, 'Good; you have mastered that exercise. I am very pleased with it. And now you are ready to go on to the next.

In the most general terms, the Enlightenment goes back to Plato's belief that truth and beauty and goodness are connected; that truth and beauty, disseminated widely, will sooner or later lead to goodness. (While we're making at effort at truth and goodness, beauty reminds us what we're hold out for.)
