“Casting therefore all other things aside,
keep thyself to these few, and remember withal that no man properly can be said to
live more than that which is now present, which is but a moment of time. Whatsoever
is besides either is already past, or uncertain.”

“You are so young, all still lies ahead of you, and I should like to ask you, as best I can, dear Sir, to be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a foreign tongue. Do not not strive to uncover answers: they cannot be given you because you have not been able to live them. And what matters is to live everything. Live the questions for now. Perhaps then you will gradually, without noticing it, live your way into the answer, one distant day in the future.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
― Winston S. Churchill

“He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.”
― Harold Wilson
