Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.

One of the saddest things is that the only thing a man can do for eight hours
a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat ... nor make love for eight hours.
William Faulkner
Many think that the price of discipleship is too costly and too burdensome. For some, it involves giving up too much.
But the cross is not as heavy as it appears to be. Through obedience, we acquire much greater strength to carry it.
James E. Faust
There are many excuses for the persons who made the mistake of confounding money

The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give

There are only two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is

Henry Ford
Whether you believe you can, or whether you believe you can't, you're absolutely right.

A company needs smart young men with the imagination and the guts to turn everything upside down if they can.

Anne Frank
The best remedy for those who are frightened, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone, alone
