"If you would one day renovate yourself,..." - Quote by Confucius

“With a heavy load and a long journey”

“He who rules by moral force is like the pole star, which remains in place while all the lesser stars do homage to it.”

“He who needs only coarse food, water and drink, and as pillow his folded arms will find happiness without further search.”

“Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.”

“My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear ... now I know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the flutters in my heart will vanish. Now I know that action reduces the lion of terror.... I will walk where the failure fears to walk.”

“To change one's life:a. Start immediatelyb. B. Do it flamboyantlyc. No exceptionsNever suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted.”

“I'd prefer to be right than consistent.”

“Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.”

“The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic.”
