Somehow I
can't believe that there are any heights that can't be
scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come
true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized
in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and
constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you
believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly
and unquestionable.
-- Walt Disney
1901-1966, American Artist,

No great deed
is done by falterers who ask for certainty.
-- George Eliot
1819-1880, British Novelist
There is
nothing that war has ever achieved we could not better

Every great
achievement is the victory of a flaming heart.

Finish each
day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as
soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and
serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with
your old nonsense.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet,
Essayist
To be yourself
in a world that is constantly trying to make you something
else is the greatest accomplishment.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803-1882, American Poet,
Essayist
The greater
the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful
pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.
-- Epictetus
50-120, Stoic Philosopher
Death comes to
all But great achievements build a monument which shall
endure until the sun grows cold.
-- George Fabricius
1678-1707, Irish Dramatist
