“Never invest yourself in anything so deeply that its failure could cost you your happiness.”

“Invest in yourself. Invest in self-discipline. Invest in self-satisfaction. Have complete control over your own thoughts and convictions, and never stop aiming to outdo yourself.”

“The worth of things can't be measured by what they cost but by what the cost you to get it, that if anything costs you your faith or your family, then the price is too high, and that there are some things that will never wear out.”

“I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness.”

“Happiness and unhappiness are in the heart and spirit of each one of us: If you feel unhappy, then place yourself above that and act so that your happiness does not get to be dependent on anything.”

“You have to be a romantic to invest yourself, your money, and your time in cheese.”
