“Experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happens to him.”
— Aldous Huxley
“Examine the lives of successful people, and you will find that they have paid a price that is in direct proportion to the amount of success they have earned. Close examination will almost always reveal years of study and preparation before great success is achieved. This principle is consistent in virtually every field of individual achievement — in the arts, medicine, science, or business. Nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. As you consider your own goals, also consider what you are willing to sacrifice for what you expect to receive. You should be prepared to give generously of your time and talents long before expecting a return on your investment. Many “overnight successes” labored in obscurity for many years before they were finally recognized for their achievements.”
— Napoleon Hill
“People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.”
— Earl Nightingale
“Everything is a miracle, not just the beautiful and lovely things.”

— John Milton
“Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.”

“Debt is a form of poverty – and one of the cruelest. It gives you the illusion of having more money than you do.”
