Simone de Beauvoir

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

Benjamin Franklin

Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

Swami Vivekananda

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life and don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

What matters most is not what the obstacles are but how we see them, how we react to them, and whether we keep our composure.

You have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth.

Adventure is not outside man; it is within.
