Discipline is the long and arduous process of convincing the mind to abide by one's conscience.

Commitment is taking the first step, even if it means falling the rest of the way down.

Perceptions of impossibility are commonly disspelled by unmitigated courage and perseverance.

Wisdom considers not only the cost of a choice, but also its value.

Never blame others for tracking in mud, until you have checked your own feet.

When the world grinds you down, bent to tear you apart, cling to what you hold dear, and stay true to your heart. For the world has a way to dismantle your cause, to exploit what you lack and expose all your flaws. But when every layer of your being is gone, and it seems there's no point anymore to go on; just remember one thing, at the end of the day, when you have self-respect they can't take that away.

I am proactive in every duty, except that which requires action.
