It's not so important who starts the game but who finishes it.

Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.

Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.

Be true to yourself. Make each day a masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day.

You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.
