Oh, youth, go forth and do! You, too, to fame may rise; You can be strong and wise. Stand up to life and play the man - You can if you'll but think you can; The great were once as you. You envy them their proud success? 'Twas won with gifts that you possess. (Edgar Guest)

William James
Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them. View quote
Bertrand Russell
Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you're in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that's the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else. View quote
