And still, as darker grows the night,
Emits a brighter ray.

GOALS

REFLECTION

"When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity."
--T.S. Eliot

"We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?"
- -Marcus Annaeus Seneca

"Look at your past. Your past has determined where you are at this moment. What you do today will determine where you are tomorrow. Are you moving forward or standing still?"
--Tom Hopkins

"We should learn, by reflection on the misfortunes of others, that there is nothing singular in those which befall ourselves."
--Thomas Fitzosborne

It is defeat that turns bone to flint; it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle; it is defeat that makes men invincible. Do not then be afraid of defeat. You are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause.
--Henry Ward Beecher
 
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
--Confucius
 
Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value.
