Commitment

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

Until One is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come his or her way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.

I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything he's got.

To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts unexpressed - that can make of this earth a garden.
