"But I did not find any positive inspiration in my studies until I approached my nineteenth year." ― Georg Brandes Topic(s): Positive More From Georg Brandes "Six hours a day I lived under school discipline in active intercourse with people none of whom were known to those at home, and the other hours of the twenty-four I spent at home, or with relatives of the people at home, none of whom were known to anybody at school." "But when I was twelve years old I caught my first strong glimpse of one of the fundamental forces of existence, whose votary I was destined to be for life – namely, Beauty." "I was at home then in the world of figures, but not in that of values." More In Positive "I’ve realized the extraordinary power of sports to heal, unite and inspire. I believe the Olympics will serve as the ultimate platform to provide positive changes and I hope to inspire all of Japan through my strong showing there."― Kohei Uchimura "Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it."― David Hockney "In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision."― Dalai Lama
