The Doors

               

There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. Deepak Chopra

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. Confucius

I never go out unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door. Joan Crawford

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. Helen Keller

Someone knocks at the door of an apartment to borrow salt or sugar, people run into each other in the elevator, and in this way become inscribed in the spectator's memory. Krzysztof Kieslowski

All day long the door of the sub-conscious remains just ajar; we slip through to the other side, and return again, as easily and secretly as a cat. Walter de La Mare

There was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see. Omar Khayyam

It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling. Robert M. Pirsig

Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace. Eugene O'Neill

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself. Jiddu Krishnamurti

Happiness is like manna; it is to be gathered in grains, and enjoyed every day. It will not keep; it cannot be accumulated; nor have we got to go out of ourselves or into remote places to gather it, since it has rained down from a Heaven, at our very door. Tryon Edwards

Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. John Barrymore

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door. Milton Berle

If all the world's a stage, I want to operatethe trap door. Paul Beatty

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. Elayne Boosler

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. Johnny Cash

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. Coco Chanel

You can do anything you think you can. This knowledge is literally the gift of the gods, for through it you can solve every human problem. It should make of you an incurable optimist. It is the open door. Robert Collier

Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Luke11:9
