Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Wayne Dyer

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.

All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future.

Success is not about seeking constant external approval; it's about being self-reliant and trusting your own instincts and judgments.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself
