Who can we look to who could for certain make a difference in the world today? Just look in the mirror!

If on the 100th attempt you don't succeed, try a different approach.

Life passeth swift; whatever needeth be done, let it be done today

Be patient as if you have forever, which truly you have, but diligent as if you only have today which truly you only have.

The gift of impermanence makes every good thing possible and every difficult situation bearable

Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity and movement and changes in the world about him; then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say this I am today, that I shall be tomorrow. The wish, however, must be implemented by deeds.
