Champ

To be a champ, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will.

- Sugar Ray Robinson (1920-1989)

Time-line

Very few of us know how much we can put into life if we use it properly, wisely, and economically. Let us economize our time -- lifetimes ebb away before we wake up, and that is why we do not realize the value of the immortal time God has given us.

-- Paramahansa Yogananda

Hindsight

Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead; do not write them on their tombstones, speak them rather now instead.
-- Anna Cummins

Capacity building

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it. I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.

-- Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

Deep breath

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

- Epictetus (55-135)

Power of one

One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
-- John Wanamaker

Looking afar

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.

-- Dag Hammarskjold (1905-1961)

Righting the wrong

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.
- Confucius

But, I don't understand.. isn't remembering needed, and isn't that natural?

Balance

Equilibrium is, not being upset at the good things you miss and not being overjoyed at the good things you receive.
