I don't give up. That makes me incredibly resilient or maybe stupid or just plain stubborn. Whichever...

I would much rather be considered wise than smart. But, I still think it is wise to get an education.

Prepare yourself for success. You have to see it coming to get there.

Have you had a failure or rejection? You could get bitter. That's one way to deal with it. Or...you could just get BETTER. What do you think?

The madder it makes you, the harder you need to laugh at it.

How far can your imagination take you? I don't know. That's up to you, but I think you should find out.

Yes, if it is meant to be, it will be. In the meantime, create your own fate. Plan big and dream bigger.

In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.

A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.

Indecision may or may not be our biggest problem.
