Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.

Bo Bennett, Year to Success

You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.

Edwin Louis Cole

There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning.

Pat Riley

The history of human conduct does not warrant that exalted opinion of human virtue which would make it wise in a nation to commit interests of so delicate and momentous a kind as those which concern its intercourse with the rest of the world to the sole disposal of a magistrate, created and circumstanced, as would be a President of the United States.

Alexander Hamilton

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is the penalty we pay for breaking with tradition, and the solitude makes the writing more exciting though the being read less so. One ought to sink to the bottom of the sea, probably, and live alone with ones words.

Virginia Woolf

God has given us our talents, not to copy the talents of others, but rather to use our brains and imagination in order to obtain the revelation of true beauty.

Louis Comfort Tiffany

My main reason for adopting literature as a profession was that, as the author is never seen by his clients, he need not dress respectably.

George Bernard Shaw

Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.

Robert Kiyosaki

Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.
