Don't ever promise more than you can deliver, but always deliver more than you promise.

Everything that is done in this world is done by hope.

If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.

The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized - never knowing.

The cause of most of man's unhappiness is sacrificing what he wants most for what he wants now.

The significance of a man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain.

To desire is to obtain; to aspire is to achieve.

Never give up on your dreams.

A rose on time is more valuable than a $1,000 gift that's too late.

If you start out by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work toward getting it.

The quickest way to disappointment is to set unreasonable expectations.

The difference is that these young people take it for granted that they're going to get whatever they want, and that we almost always took it for granted that we shouldn't. Only, I wonder—the thing one's so certain of in advance: can it ever make one's heart beat as wildly?
