"Failures are finger posts on the road..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“All get what they want; they do not always like it.”

“A promise must be about actions: no one can promise to go on feeling a certain way.”

“Our passions are not too strong, they are too weak. We are far too easily pleased.”

“A strategy that doesn't take into account resources is doomed to failure.”

“Never be discouraged, because every wrong turn attempt, when left behind you, is another step forward taking you closer to your goals.”

“If you fail to plan,you can plan to fail.”

“A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach.”

“It doesn't matter what the income level of your family is, or if English is the first or second language. It makes no difference. The bottom line is that every child can be an academic champion, an academic champion and a superstar in academics.”

“When you've done all you can, do just a little bit more. Any extra effort you make will draw immense leverage from all the ordinary efforts which have preceded it. That can be powerful and effective.”
