Our ability to achieve happiness and success depends on the strength of our wings

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

“Passion creates the desire for more and action fuelled by passion creates a future.”

Until we see what we are, we cannot take steps to become what we should be.

We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.

There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.

There is no other consolation to the emptiness of the past than the memory of it.
