Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling?
Ah make the most of what yet we may spend, before we too into dust descend!
Rubaiyat
The world is more malleable than you think, and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape.
We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.
Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Before you can make a dream come true, you must first have one.
The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.
Our aspirations are our possibilities.
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.
