What we say and what we do ultimately comes back to us so let us own our responsibility, place it in our hands, and carry it with dignity and strength.
Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can – – and surely will at times — fail. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.
I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.
We must believe in ourselves or no one else will believe in us; we must match our aspirations with the competence, courage, and determination to succeed.
When we are chafed and fretted by small cares, a look at the stars will show us the littleness of our own intersts.
Apparent failure may hold in its rough shell the germs of a success that will blowwom in time, and bear fruit throughout eternity.
Luck? Sure. But only after long practice and only with the ability to think under pressure.
When nothing is sure, everything is possible.
