Decide to be happy, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily practice, and not a result or payoff.

THE GREATEST RISK IN LIFE IS TO WAIT FOR AND DEPEND UPON OTHERS FOR YOUR OWN SECURITY.

Most people spend most of their time on low-priority busywork because it requires no additional knowledge, skills, or imagination-or courage. In a word, it's easier.

Chase your passion, not your pension.

The most important conversations, briefings, meeting, and lectures you will ever have will be those you hold with yourself in the privacy of your own mind.

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

We can't afford to waste tears on might-have-beens. We need to turn the tears into sweat that can take us to what can be.
