| Quote:Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:The reason gas stations sell food, of course, is that the supermarkets are busy cashing checks. The supermarkets have to cash checks because the banks are busy mailing unsolicited credit cards to everybody in the Western Hemisphere. The result is that very few people fix cars.[Dave Barry] Quote:Creditors have better memories than debtors.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where 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 up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.[Harry Truman] Quote:There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.[Indira Gandhi] Quote:An editor is someone who separates the wheat from the chaff and then prints the chaff.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.[George Washington] Quote:We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and private: and therefore starved for meditation and true friendship.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.[Ring Lardner] Quote:Creditors have better memories than debtors. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. [Albert Einstein] Quote:Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. [Socrates] Definitions of: editDefinition: To superintend the publication of; to revise and prepare for publication; to select, correct, arrange, etc., the matter of, for publication; as, to edit a newspaper. |
