Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

A jade stone is useless before it is processed; a man is good-for-nothing until he is educated.

One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don’t choose your passions; your passions choose you.

The only journey is the one within.
