Quotes
It's easier to go down a hill than up it, but the view is much better at the top.
It's highly virtuous to say we'll be good, but we can't do it all at once, and it takes a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together before some of us even get our feet set in the right way.
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
Nature, by example, shows us anything worthwhile comes over time. Anything worthwhile grows methodically, building on a strong foundation. Develop a willingness to carry on despite roadblocks.
There's only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.
