Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

Associate yourself with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

All of the great achievers of the past have been visionary figures; they were men and women who projected into the future. They thought of what could be, rather than what already was, and then they moved themselves into action, to bring these things into fruition.

If you have a great ambition, take as big a step as possible in the direction of fulfilling it. The step may only be a tiny one, but trust that it may be the largest one possible for now.
