Timeless in their wisdom, thought-provoking in their message, surprising
in their truth and memorable in their originality, the right words can
give direction, inspiration, and sometimes a tangible boost onto the
right path. For example, Steve Jobs once read "Stay hungry Stay foolish"
on the back cover of The Whole Earth Catalog, and those four words
came to guide his life.
Created by Kathryn and Ross Petras, connoisseurs of quotes, whose books
and calendars have over 56 million copies in print, "Dance First. Think
Later." is a collection of the greatest life wisdom from an unexpected
group of speakers, doers, and thinkers. There are 618 rules to live
by--funny, sly, declarative, thoughtful, offhanded, clever, and always
profound:
"Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the
greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places."
--Roald Dahl
"If everything is under control, you are going too slow." --Mario
Andretti
"Never make a credit decision on a beach."--Victor J. Boschini
"Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order."--Samuel Beckett
"The only time to eat diet food is while waiting for the steak to
cook." --Julia Child
"What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it
anyway." --Mother Teresa
And: "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."--Oscar Wilde
