Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like); fletchers bend the arrow; carpenters bend a log of wood; wise people fashion themselves.

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.

All the things that truly matter - beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace - arise from beyond the mind.

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
