“Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.”

“Dreaming is very pleasant as long as you are not forced to put your dreams into practice.”

“Considering the way the world is, one happy day is almost a miracle.”

“Talent is a universal gift, but it takes a lot of courage to use it. Don't be afraid to be the best.”

“If you conquer yourself, then you conquer the world”

“You can either be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It all depends on how you view your life.”

“Try to find pleasure in the speed that you're not used to. Changing the way you do routine things allows a new person to grow inside of you. But when all is said and done, you're the one who must decide how you handle it.”

“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better."
