The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.

I practice in my head.
Don't get it right, just get it written.
We cannot put off living until we are ready.
All the effort in the world won't matter if you're not inspired.
The hardest thing to do is work hard when no one is watching.
Dreams create desire. Desire creates determination. Determination creates distance between you and failure.
Never permit me to disgrace my high vocation by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.
All my growth and development led me to believe that if you really do the right thing, and if you play by the rules, and if you?ve got good enough, solid judgment and common sense, that you?re going to be able to do whatever you want to do with your life.
You can't take no breaks.
We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage.
Whatever you choose, do it fully-with passion and childlike enthusiasm.
There's a spirit that grabs me, and it's in every one of you guys, but the questions is, how much time are we wasting?

Live all you can; it's a mistake not to.
I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.
No matter what the situation is. . . close your eyes and think of all the things you could be grateful for in your life right now.
If you're going through difficult times today, hold steady. It will change soon. If you are experiencing smooth sailing and easy times now, brace yourself. It will change soon. The only thing you can be certain of is change.
