A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, it’s because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.
Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.
If you don’t run your own life, someone else will.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to
love yourself to get anything done in this world.
First a person should put his house together, then his town, then the world.
How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
