The harder I work the luckier I get.
Thomas Jefferson
Realize that sleeping on a futon when you're 30 is not the worst thing. You know what's worse, sleeping in a king sized bed next to a wife you're not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple of kids, and you got a job you hate. You'll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There's no risk when you go after a dream. There's a tremendous amount of risk to playing it safe.
Bill Burr
People tend to overestimate what they can do in 1 year, and underestimate what they can do in five.

John Lennon
I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.
Roald Dhal
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Look around. All that clutter used to be money. All that money used to be time.
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did.
T.E. Lawrence
