as you can see;
when you get there
you’ll be able
to see farther.

of the best kind,
is comparatively slow.

cannot be achieved at once;
and we must be satisfied
to advance in life
as we walk,
step by step.

To change one’s life:
Start immediately.
Do it flamboyantly.

He who would learn
to fly one day
must first learn to stand,
and walk, and run,
and climb, and dance;
one cannot fly into flying.

– nothing annoys them so much.
Oscar Wilde
It is only through labor
and painful effort,
by grim energy
and resolute courage,
that we move on
to better things.

I demolish
my bridges behind me
…then there is no choice
but to move forward.

Life is
like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance
you must keep moving.

Living is
a constant process
of deciding
what we are going to do.
