Isaac NewtonYou can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

Edmund BurkeYou must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or you do not.

Robert GreeneIf you deserve it, go get it.
Conor McGregorBe kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Dalai LamaTo give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
