"A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline."



"Failure lies not in falling down. Failure lies in not getting up." (traditional Chinese proverb)



"Before you speak, ask yourself: Is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?"



"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."



"Don't be afraid to take a big step when one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small steps."


Rudyard Kipling’s “If” :-

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
….. etc


But my favourite is attributed to Max Ehrman – "Desiderata" (= that which is to be desired)
[cut to avoid overload, but I'd recommend you pop onto the link and enjoy it all]


Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
….
….
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
