C.S. Lewis

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient and the best things come to those who don’t give up.

If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.

… be aware that even before you have reached your ultimate professional destination … you can and should have a substantial impact on the world in which you live.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.

I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.

Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Creativity and control can go hand in hand.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

The way to succeed is to double your error rate.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

To be successful you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, and then resolve to pay the price to get it.

You either get bitter or you get better. It’s that simple. You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you.

A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think.
