You don’t just luck into things as much as you’d like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it’s friendships or opportunities.

What you are not, you can never be, until and unless you do something about it.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.
