"You have to be true to yourself. You have to be enough in touch with who you are and what you want, how you want to live, and what's important to you, to make your decisions based on that. Sometimes that's very difficult. Sometimes it's hard to have your own internal voice be heard. You have just one life to live. It is yours. Own it, claim it, live it, do the best you can with it."
-Hillary Rodham Clinton
"Are you smart?"
"Obviously."
"Then don't be scared."
-From Jack Reacher
"Don't be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible. Stay open, forever, so open that it hurts, and then open up some more, until the day you die, world without end, amen."
-George Saunders
"Being realistic is the fastest track to mediocrity."
-Will Smith
"Study your strengths, then decide how hard you want to work."
-Martha Stewart
"One (quality for success) is heavy-duty resilience, a requirement because anyone who is really in the game messes up at some point. You're not playing hard enough if you don't."
-Jack Welch
"Strengthen self ceaselessly and cultivate virtue to nurture the world."
-Binghua Vaiv
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists...it is real...it is possible...it's yours."
-Ayn Rand
