Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

Heroes are made in the hour of defeat. Success is, therefore, well described as a series of glorious defeats.

There is more to life than increasing its speed.
