"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." "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." "For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness." |
