complacency

The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it.

We just wanna be the happy bums that we are. That's all.

At the time I was being molested, I thought I was the only one. My father controlled everything in our house and he always said that what was happening to me was natural and that I should accommodate him. Even though I have to look back sometimes, I am moving forward. And even though it's painful for me to face my mother's complacency, doing so has helped me understand that it wasn't my fault. If I could have read something at the time about sex abuse, if people had talked openly about, I could have been saved so many years of guilt and shame and secrecy. Each time I talk about my incest, I get rid of some of that shame and guilt. Each person I share with, no matter what their response, takes another piece of the pain away.

Until you press the switch button of the light in your room on, you shall always have light in your room and still leave in darkness.

We don__ have a good excuse before God if our nation and people are suffering as a result of our complacency

To be unique calls for being unique in such a way that your uniqueness doesn't make others appear inferior, and a uniqueness that doesn't crave for anything apart from your own thing.

A person is not like a thing that you put down in one place and leave, a person moves, thinks, asks, questions, doubts, investigates, probes, and while it is true that, out of a long habit of resignation, he sooner or later ends up looking as if he has submitted to the objects, don't go thinking that this apparent submission is necessarily permanent.

That initial anger she had felt turned to sadness, and now it had become something else, almost a dullness of sorts. Even though she was constantly in motion, it seemed as if nothing special ever happened to her anymore. Each day seemed exactly like the last, and she had trouble differentiating among them.

Do not be complacent about your achievements and not to strive for continual improvement when you get to the top. As soon as you let success go to your head, you sink into following familiar patterns and play it safe. In other words, you risk losing your edge.

when you do great things, think as if you missed the mark by an inch; walk as if you are yet to face the greatest task; talk as if you are yet to have the best preparation for the momentous moment and dream as if you are fighting a battalion of tasks

Complacency is a sword of two edges. One edge kills hard earned successes while the other end stops future glories. Complacency is a murderer and a barrier!

Your inability to do what you are noted for doing is a critical step to wading off your past glories of excellence!

Mediocrity is a pit that swallows people who have rested on seats of complacency for long.

People who become successful take every __oday__ victory_ as a rehearsal for tomorrows trophy.

The simple rule to abide by and become excellent is that __on__ see what you have achieved yesterday with the same pleasure eyes you used to see it when it was done by you_. Look forward and do better than you did earlier!

To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted

We must not overlook the role that extremists play. They are the gadflies that keep society from being too complacent or self-satisfied; they are, if sound, the spearhead of progress. If they are fundamentally wrong, free discussion will in time put an end to them.

The problem with the __erd_ is that our voice is never __eard_.
