"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."

Without effort, your talent is nothing more than your unmet potential.

The self is not so much a substance as a process, and it is the continual task of education to change the process, to develop its activities, and to guide it into channels of efficiency.

The stone we extract today will shape the landscapes of tomorrow.

Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who you are.
