Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.

Kelly McGonigal

From the beginning, she had sat looking at him fixedly. As he now leaned back in his chair, and bent his deep-set eyes upon her in his turn, perhaps he might have seen one wavering moment in her, when she was impelled to throw herself upon his breast, and give him the pent-up confidences of her heart.

The barriers were too many and too high for such a leap. With his unbending, utilitarian, matter-of-fact face, he hardened her again; and the moment shot away into the plumbless depths of the past, to mingle with all the lost opportunities that are drowned there.

Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman

It's best to rise from life like a banquet, neither thirsty or drunken.

Aristotle
