“Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else.”

“It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.”

“Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to.”
