From Groucho Marx:
“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”
From St. Augustine:
“Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to consturct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your sturcture is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.”
From Michael Harrington, writer:
“It takes a certain level of aspiration before one can take advantage of opportunities that are clearly offered.”
