Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right!

As life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time, at the peril of being not to have lived.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
Ruskin, John

49.
I thought he was a young man of promise, but it appears he is a young man of promises. [Speaking Of Winston Churchill]
