Live your life on purpose.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it is better to listen to what it has to say.

Have regular hours for work & play; make each day both useful & pleasant and prove you understand the worth of time by employing it well.

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the door.

For what it’s worth: It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.

Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

If we do not make common cause to save the good old ship of the Union on this voyage, nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

Let us resolve to be masters, not victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions.
