Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again.

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Virginia Woolf

Success is not about waiting for opportunities; it's about creating opportunities and taking decisive action.

All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.

Fame is a vapor, popularity is an accident... only one thing endures - character.
