Isn’t it kind of silly to think that tearing someone else down builds you up?
We are free to choose our paths, but we can’t choose the consequences that come with them.

Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force. ELAINE MAXWELL.
We become what we repeatedly do.
One of the few things that can’t be recycled is wasted time.

Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do.
Don’t wait until people are dead to give them flowers.

Education must be a lifelong pursuit. The person who doesn’t read is not better off than the person who can’t.
