To me success means effectiveness in the world, that i am able to carry my ideas and values into the world? that i am able to change it in positive ways

Keep your face always toward the sunshine—and shadows will fall behind you.

Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

You have to take 100% responsibility for your life.

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.

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