Thomas Browne

All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.

Be charitable before wealth makes you covetous.

Let age, not envy, draw wrinkles on thy cheeks.

It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

To jump and break the sound barrier will not be a mere record breaking experience or another extreme event that ends once the mission is accomplished.

My personal philosophy would be don't whine, don't let opportunities pass you by, be willing to work hard, and remember that you don't know as much as you think you do, ever.
