Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), (attributed)
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive. Having been alive, it won't be so hard in the end to lie down and rest.
Pearl Bailey (1918 - 1990)
Think of life as a terminal illness, because, if you do, you will live it with joy and passion, as it ought to be lived.
Anna Quindlen (1953 - ), A Short Guide to a Happy Life, 2000
This is the challenge of writing. You have to be very emotionally engaged in what you’re doing, or it comes out flat. You can’t fake your way through this.

Every man is guilty of all the good he didn't do.
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.'
Helen Hayes (1900 - 1993)
