“You would fain be victor at the Olympic games, you say. Yes, but weigh the conditions, weigh the consequences; then and then only, lay to your hand-if it be for your profit. You must live by rule, submit todiet, abstain from dainty meats, exercise your body perforce at stated hours, in heat or in cold; drink no cold water, nor, it may be, wine. In a word, you must surrender yourself wholly to your trainer, as though to a physician.
~ Epictetus, (c.A.D. 50-c.A.D. 138)
“Many of life’s failures are those people who did not know how close they were to success when they gave up.”
~Thomas Edison
“Always listen to experts, they will tell you what you cannot do and why it cant be done, then go do it”
~Unknown
