“Failed the bright promise of your early day?”

“In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves
For a bright manhood, there is no such word
As "fail."”

“Change almost never fails because it's too early. It almost always fails because it's too late.”

“Hail, blooming Youth!
May all your virtues with your years improve,
Till in consummate worth you shine the pride
Of these our days, and succeeding times
A bright example.”

“Failing to plan is planning to fail. Plan Each Day, Each Week, Each Semester. You can always change your plan, but only once you have one!”

“Parents – especially step-parents – are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fufill the promise of their early years.”

“Today. This bright new day that awaits us”

“These ruinous days of Autumn. At dusk,
the brightness seeps through the crumbling air,
at dusk the air gathers up the brightness”

“Trust in tomorrow… Every day of your life, there's been a tomorrow. I promise you, there'll be a tomorrow.

—Alex Morales to Miranda Evans”

“Her face seems ravaged by both lightning and hail. But on yours there is something like the promise of a storm: one day passion will burn it to the bone.”
