Christopher Paolini: "A man is what he chooses to become, not what he was born to be."

Don't water yourself down. Stay potent.

Growth and comfort do not coexist.

If you're not learning while you're earning, you're cheating yourself out of the better portion of your compensation.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution.
