Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Arthur C. Clarke
No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.

Alfred North Whitehead
Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.

Bruce Lee
Australian history is almost always picturesque; indeed, it is so curious and strange, that it is itself the chiefest novelty the country has to offer, and so it pushes the other novelties into second and third place. It does not read like history, but like the most beautiful of lies. And all of a fresh new sort, no mouldy old stale ones. It is full of surprises, and adventures, and incongruities, and contradictions, and incredibilities; but they are all true, they all happened.

Mark Twain
When things are going really well with my wife, I wonder; “What did I do to deserve this?” When things are going badly with my wife, I wonder;”What did I do to deserve this?”
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A mistake that makes you humble is much better than an achievement that makes you arrogant.

See the world as if for the first time; see it through the eyes of a child, and you will suddenly find that you are free.

Deepak Chopra
The key is not to prioritise what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Stephen Covey
The only way to have a friend is to be one.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
