It is not your environment, it is you- the quality of your mind, the integrity of your soul and the determination of your will that will decide your future and shape your life.

The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach

A child must learn early to believe that she is somebody worthwhile, and that she can do many praiseworthy things.

It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.

You have the ability, now apply yourself.

Whatever you do, do it so well that people looking on will feel that the task was reserved especially for you by God Himself.

It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture.
