"The face of the water, in time, became a wonderfull book-a book,which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it had uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell everyday. Throughout the long hundreds of miles there never was a page that was void of interest, one that you were meant to skip, thinking you could find higher enjoyment in some other things."
Mark Twain in his book, Life on the Mississippi

And now you have become familiar to me, though I cannot say I know you well. Who are you?"/ And the stranger answered:"Thyself."
From an old tale
"The acquisition of riches has been for many men, not an end, but a change, of troubles. I do not wonder. For the fault is not in the wealth, but in the mind itself. That which had made poverty a burden to us, has made riches also a burden. Just as it matters little whether you lay a sick man on a wooden or on a golden bed, for whithersoever he be moved he will carry his malady with him; so one need not care whether the disease mind is bestowed upon riches or poverty. His malady goes with the man."
Seneca ad Lucilium
"Stand right behind your dream for you are the only one who can push it. Make sacrifice. Walk all the way with your dream."
"The person who is responsible for your failure or success is you."
