Words worth keeping

Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

What's the good of living if you don't try a few things?

Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
