Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of…
If you don’t take any risks then you won’t ever make any mistakes.
But you may end up with an attic full of regrets.
Only you can decide how to use your life.
If you don’t try everything now, when the gates close and the rides shut down you’ll be left clutching a useless fistful of unused tickets.
The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.

Without doubt, the toughest of all games is change.
Some people would say that it is the only game.
Change, then, is the game that must be won.
The truth is, that in everything we do, be it in our personal, family, social or business lives, whatever our talents and skills, there is a constant need to be in control of change and its effects.
It’s your capacity to have and to maintain this control which determines whether or not you are an achiever.
It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy.
It is what you think about it.
( Dale Carnegie )

Experience is what teaches you that you need a lot more experience.
There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate.
When he can’t afford it, and when he can.
One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
Among the things that money can’t buy these days are the things it used to.
Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of others.
Trying is always enough.

If you can’t be kind, at least be vague.
An after-dinner speech should be like a lady’s dress.
Long enough to cover the subject and short enough to be interesting.
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.
If two people agree all the time, one of them is unnecessary.
Be wiser than other people if you can, but do not tell them so.

Some people will lose their temper just from seeing you keep yours.
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

( George Bernard Shaw )
Whatever you do may be insignificant.
But it is very important that you do it.
Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
What progress we are making.
In the Middle Ages they would have burned me, now they are content with burning my books.
