"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken."

"For pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense."

"When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there."

"The next time you encounter a difficult obstacle or problem, you should smile and say, Here's my chance to grow."

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."

"Don't succumb to excuses. Go back to the job of making the corrections and forming the habits that will make your goal possible."
