Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

To know nothing is the happiest life.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
