“The young disease, that must subdue at length, Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength.”
“Do you find yourself making excuses when you do not perform? Shed the excuses and face reality. Excuses are the loser's way out. They will mar your credibility and stunt your personal growth.”
“To observations which ourselves we make, we grow more partial for th' observer's sake.”
“Tis thus the mercury of man is fix'd, Strong grows the virtue with his nature mix'd.”
