Women sometimes forgive a man who forces the opportunity, but never a man who misses ones.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

The man of meditation becomes the man of understanding because his energy accumulates. He is not wasting it. He is not interested in trivia; he does not put any energy at all into petty things. So whenever the time arises to give, he has to give. Energy is understanding. Be conscious of it and use your energy very consciously, and use your energy in such a way that you don't simply go on wasting it.

Rajneesh

A woman will sometimes forgive the man who tries to seduce her, but never the man who misses an opportunity when offered.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

Buy a man a beer, and he wastes an hour. Teach a man to brew, and he wastes a lifetime.

Charlie Papazian

All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.

Napoleon Bonaparte

It takes a long time-many incarnations of right action, good company, help of the guru, self-awakening, wisdom, and meditation-for man to regain his soul consciousness of immortality. To reach this state of Self-realization, each man must practice meditation to transfer his consciousness from the limited body to the unlimited sphere of joy felt in meditation.

Paramahansa Yogananda

To comprehend a man's life, it is necessary to know not merely what he does but also what he purposely leaves undone. There is a limit to the work that can be got out of a human body or a human brain, and he is a wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which he is not fitted; and he is till wiser who, from among the things that he can do well, chooses and resolutely follows the best.

John Hall Gladstone

The making of money, the accumulation of material power, is not all there is to living...and the man who misses this truth misses the greatest joy and satisfaction that can come into his life -- service for others.

Edward Bok

The man who is egoless is the man who has no ideals. Let this be the criterion, and you have stumbled upon a fundamental. The man of no ego is the man of no ideals. Then how can the ego be created? - the very energy is missing. The energy comes out of friction, conflict, struggle, will.

Rajneesh

If you spend a lot of energy on things that are wastes of time, then you waste energy, get sick, and die faster.

James Altucher

I realize myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.

Julian Cope

I realise myself that hate wastes a lot of time and energy, and I would rather re-direct any energy that I have to good and positive use.

Julian Lennon

Poverty wastes people; it wastes opportunity.

Bill Shorten

Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.

Benjamin Franklin

The rational man finds that his share of the cost of the wastes he discharges into the commons is less than the cost of purifying his wastes before releasing them.
