believe you are the best. If
you're not, pretend you are.

gyms. Champions are made from
something they have deep inside
them: A desire, a dream, a

be a little faster, they have to
have the skill and the will. But
the will must be stronger than the
skill.
Muhammad Ali

succeed

dare to live.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually In The Arena, whose face is

comes up short again and again...who at best knows in the end the triumph
of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, fails while daring
greatly...
Theador Roosevelt

experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision
cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Lord, give me the strength to change what I can, give me the
strength to resist
what I cannot change
and give me the
wisdom to understand
the difference
between the two.
Franz of Assisi
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
- Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's flower;
But only so an hour.
The leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay
