There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kill.

Success is not about competing with others; it's about continually challenging and improving yourself.

External nature is only internal nature writ large.

Success is not about seeking constant external validation; it's about having the courage to follow your own path and pursue your unique passions.

Don't let fear hold you back. Take risks and embrace new opportunities.

Put a grain of boldness into everything you do.

Effort is one of those things that gives meaning to life.
