" For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."
" Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
" The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be."
" What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
" To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
