It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses, we must plant more roses.

Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.

Motivation is the fuel, necessary to keep the human engine running.

The fact is that in order to do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand shivering on the bank thinking of the cold and the danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.

If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!

Lord, help me to begin to begin.
