A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own. LATIN PROVERB

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and education advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his condition in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success. – HAMILTON WRIGHT MABIE

To comprehend a man’s life, it is necessary to know not merely what he does but also what he purposely leaves undone. There is a limit to the work that can be got out of a human body or a human brain, and he is a wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which he is not fitted; and he is till wiser who, from among the things that he can do well, chooses and resolutely follows the best. – JOHN HALL GLADSTONE
