Maya Angelou
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the
doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest ********* thing in the world.
John Green
The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..
John Milton
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with
another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.
Alexandre Dumas
Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.
