To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot change your future, but you can change your habits. And surely your habits will change your future.
Many say I am just one to try. I say I am one less to quit.
Try and fail, but don't fail to try.
Live your life in the manner that you would like your kids to live theirs.
Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.
If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine.
