Bargain: something you can't use at a price you can't resist. Real difficulties can be overcome, it is only the imaginary ones that are unconquerable. If you want to see the sun shine, you have to weather the storm. There is a master key to success with which no man can fail. Its name is simplicity ... reducing to the simplest possible terms every problem. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars. I always felt that I hadn't achieved what I wanted to achieve.

If you play it safe in life, you've decided that you don't want to grow anymore. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are. We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses. As a rule, what is out of sight disturbs men's minds more seriously than what they see.
