“My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.”

“Always aim for achievement, and forget about success.”

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”

“From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.”

“Success is not handed to you. You must work hard for it and you must never dishonor what you’ve achieved.”

“Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today”

“The story of a love is not important. What is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.”
