“Nil Sine Magno Labore ("Nothing without great effort") --Motto of Brooklyn College”

“Nil Sine Magno Labore ("Nothing without great effort")”

“What doesn't kill you can still make you walk funny.--halloweenforum.com”

“If you hold a cat by the tail, you learn things you can't learn any other way.--Mark Twain”

“Without conscious and deliberate effort, inertia always wins”

“So, whenever you find yourself putting forth great effort without success, you're trying to force something that won't fit under the circumstances. That's a destructive waste of time. And if that isn't enough to keep in mind, your techniques must always be allowed to evolve and change, in relationships, in life, in science, in society. Otherwise you stagnate, and you won't get anywhere in the long run... You know what the philosopher Aldous Huxley said? He said 'Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.”

“By changing nothing, nothing changes.”
