{"quotes":[{"text":"If there is any one person you can't love, then you don't understand love. The bitter cup we have to drink is the dregs of humility; we must see past the outer shells of insecurity to the seed of divinity deep inside each one of us. No one virtue is strong enough to stand on its own. No one vice is simple enough not to lead to all others. No one person can appreciate and support us as much as we need. No one event is enough to tear apart our lives. What does this all mean? We have to give everything or we will have nothing. We cannot take any short cuts. We have to love everyone, or we cannot truly love anyone. No excuse will mean anything to us in the end.People are beautiful, don’t forget that. Don’t let pomp and circumstance, society or folklore fool you with counterfeit beauty. True beauty is usually not something you can see, but something you feel; something that inspires you.","author":"Michael Brent Jones","tags":["beautiful","beauty","humility","insecurity","love","short-cuts"],"id":13037,"author_id":"Michael+Brent+Jones"},{"text":"In the long run most short cuts are flawed - especially on journeys to 'so-called' success.","author":"Rasheed Ogunlaru","tags":["authenticity","being-a-champion","cheating","ease","effort","flawed","hard-work","honesty","lazy","long-run","marathon","patience","perseverance","persistence","personal-development","on-business","on-sport","on-success","rasheed-ogunlaru","rasheed-ogunlaru","self-improvement","short-cuts","shrewd","smart","sprints","success","success-techniques","training"],"id":48712,"author_id":"Rasheed+Ogunlaru"},{"text":"No going around it, no short cuts, no laying of hands, no amount of service, no amount of prophecy, without hard work, everything else goes to waste.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["calling","conversion","convert","gift","great","greatness","hardwork","humanity","life","poverty","produce","product","productivity","prophecy","purpose","service","short-cuts","time","value","waste","wealth","work","world"],"id":108983,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"No going around it, no short cuts, no laying of hands, no amount of service, no amount of prophecy, without hard work everything else goes to waste.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["calling","conversion","convert","gift","great","greatness","hard-work","humanity","life","poverty","produce","product","productivity","prophecy","purpose","service","short-cuts","time","value","waste","wealth","work","work-hard","world"],"id":203929,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"The path to mastery involves being a white-belter till it becomes black from use.","author":"Malti Bhojwani","tags":["experience","learn","short-cuts"],"id":215250,"author_id":"Malti+Bhojwani"},{"text":"Among the many short cuts to science, we badly need someone to teach us the art of learning with difficulty.","author":"Jean-Jacques Rousseau","tags":["learning","short-cuts"],"id":409174,"author_id":"Jean-Jacques+Rousseau"},{"text":"In life, most short cuts end up taking longer than taking the longer route.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["achievement","business","career","choice you make","choices","decisions","determination","lessons","life","living","longer","motivation","planning","short-cuts","shortcuts","success","successful","time","timing","wisdom"],"id":419109,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":7,"pages":1}}
