Sir Winston Churchill: “Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson: “That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved.”

Buddha: “The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beingsโฆ
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become.”
