"If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere."


"The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to it fulfillment."


"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves."


"Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set said with no destinations."


"Set you course by the stars, not light lights of every passing ship."


"Everyday you spend drifting away from your goals is a waste not only of that day, but also of the additional day it takes to regain lost."


"Learning is not so much an additive process, with new learning simply piling up on top of existing knowledge, as it is an active, dynamic process in which the connections are constantly changing and the structure reformatted."


"It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them."


"It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning."


"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self esteem." "That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all."
