"I never thought of achievement. I just..." - Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

“Ability is not something to be saved, like money, in the hope that you can draw interest on it. The interest comes from the spending. Unused ability, like unused muscles, will atrophy. It is tragic to realize that the majority of human beings, even the so-called educated, call upon only the smallest fraction of their potential capacity. They leave many talents dormant. They fail to develop their mental qualities. They are almost unaware of the degree of energy upon which they might call to build a full and rewarding life.”

“Unused ability, like unused muscles, will atrophy.”

“When you adopt the standards and the values of someone else … you surrender your own integrity. You become, to the extent of your surrender, less of a human being.”

“You are the author of your own life...Don't let others define it for you. Real power comes by doing what you are meant to be doing, and doing it well.”

“Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.”

“How my achievements mock me!”

“How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it.”

“True perfection is unattainable, but if you chase perfection you will catch excellence!”
