Never say you have done a lot for others. You never know what others have done for you. Acknowledge the present for what it is. Anticipate the future for what it can be. Courage is knowing fear, But doing what must be done anyway.
All big men are dreamers.
They see things in the soft haze of a warm summer's day Or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, But others nourish and protect them, And bring them to the sunshine and light That come always to those who believe that their dreams will come true. Your ideas are like diamonds. The real work of art is what you do with your own life. In spite of illness, in spite of even the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.
