It is in the expectations of happiness that much of happiness itself is found. And it takes courage to expect happiness.
If you spend an extra hour each day of study in your chosen field you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less.
Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.
To give oneself is the only way of becoming oneself.
