Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not… 
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not… Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not…

Those who don’t read books have no advantage over those that can’t read them. Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to us. Greed, like the love of comfort, is a kind of fear.
 In human relations, kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths. Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another’s fear. The pursuit of perfection is the pursuit of sweetness and light. Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. 
Impossible is not a fact… It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration… It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
