There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
As simplistic as this may sound, commitment is still the common deniminator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
Cause Change and Lead; Accept Change and Survive; Resist Change and Die.
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past them in a kind of dream.
Whatever it takes for you to find your freedom, that’s what you’ve lived.
