Echoes

Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens.

Arise, begin this very moment, and say, “Now is the time to do: now is the time to fight, now is the proper time for amendment.”

The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.

We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.

The best way to predict your future is to create it.

I will either find a way, or make one.

I will either find a way or make one.

There is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don't use it to free yourself it will be gone and never return.

Take a step forward, lads. It will be easier that way.

The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today's work superbly well.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Henceforth I ask not good fortune — I myself am good fortune.

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

Even as we speak, envious time is running away from us. Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in tomorrow.

Now the time is most precious. Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation.

To see what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.

Don't judge the future of a person based on his present conditions, because time has the power to change black coal to shiny diamond.

While I breathe, I hope.

You may never know what results come of your actions. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.
