You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.
