That which resembles most living one's life over again, seems to be to recall all the circumstances of it; and, to render this remembrance more durable, to record them in writing.

And to me it is one of the most odious things in a girl's life, that there must always be some supposition of falling in love coming between her and any man who is kind to her... I have no ground for the nonsensical vanity of fancying everybody who comes near me is in love with me.

George Eliot

There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to beat, but only one way to win; get there first.

Willie Shoemaker

Many a man thinks he is patient when, in reality, he is indifferent.

B. C. Forbes

When you are angry or frustrated, what comes out? Whatever it is, it's a good indication of what you're made of.
