Who does not wish to be beautiful, and clever, and rich, and to have back, in old age, the time spent trying to be any of them.

One's dream is defeated not by unsolvable problems, but by all the more-or-less satisfactory solutions that kill it forever.

Life is like sailing. You can use any wind to go in any direction.

Seize every opportunity along the way, for how sad it would be if the road you chose became the road not taken.

What we have earned by the sweat of our brow, we defend with pride. What we have gained by the accident of birth, we guard with prejudice.

If you allow people to treat you like a doormat, they will expect you to say WELCOME.

Sometimes in tragedy we find our life's purpose - the eye sheds a tear to find its focus.
