What is Digg?60 Comments
- sensoukami, on 12/14/2007, -0/+33I'm a sucker for anykind of motivational quotes...of course, they never work on me. I go right back to dreaming but not doing...someone pass the bong and spin up Halo....I have a non-productive life to get back to...
- wattznext, on 12/14/2007, -0/+28"Thomas Edison - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work"
I love this quote. In fact, i recently told this to my girlfriend in response to her bombing an interview.
Wait wait, I'll save you the trouble...
"Liar, you're a digger, you don't have a GF"
"No one on Digg has a GF"
"Stop trying to brag about your fake GF you geek."
"In soviet Russia, made up girlfriend references you!" - iPissExcellence, on 12/14/2007, -1/+2621: "Do what you have to do" - O.J. Simpson
- Abno, on 12/14/2007, -0/+9Tesla was the better scientist, Edison was the better businessman.
- bobbydiamondz, on 12/14/2007, -0/+6My personal fav is this one. I think it applies well to the entrepreneurial spirit:
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
--Calvin Coolidge - inactive, on 12/14/2007, -1/+7Thomas Edison should have some quote about using people like Tesla to discover things and then making money off it.
I really am not much of a fan of Edison after hearing about his dealings with Tesla and there must have been others he did the same thing to. - wbeavis, on 12/14/2007, -2/+7"Would you like fries with that?"
- cbfdev, on 12/14/2007, -0/+5This is also a good one: "There are three kinds of people. Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened." -- Anonymous

- KidTechno, on 12/14/2007, -1/+5incorrect, when used informally, it implies the noun form just the same way... but good try
- DrywallThief, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3Despite people digging him down, I actually got a good laugh out of this comment.

- kmattso, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2I'm not really motivated to be an entrepreneur after reading this. Sounds like too much work, and failure and luck. I sum it up like this: "Work your ass off on a totally original idea (if you ever get one), and hope you get lucky."
- completebizsyst, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2He's not an entrepreneur, but I love the quote - reminds me of having a vision for my business and following through:

- kcdstudios, on 12/14/2007, -3/+422: "t's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Thank you despair.com - Viniator3, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1I love the irony in Mark Twain's quotation. He blew an incredible amount of his and his wife's fortune investing in some typesetting machine. It all came to naught, contributing in part to his despair in his later life.

Great post - saurabhp22, on 12/16/2007, -0/+0The quotes were really nice and the best i liked was: The greatest reward in becoming a millionaire is not the amount of money that you earn.
