The rarest of all human

qualities is consistency.

We don't rise to the level

of our expectations, we

fall to the level of our 

training.

Success is the sum of

small efforts, repeated.

If you want the present to

be different from the past,

study the past.

If you are ruled by mind,

you are a king; if by body,

a slave.

Desires make slaves out 

of kings and patience

makes kings out of slaves.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, 

then, is not and act, but a habit.

Be tolerant with others and

strict with yourself.

Moral excellence

comes about as a

result of habit.

We become just

by doing just acts.

The man who moves a

mountain begins by carrying

away samll stones.

A man who is a master

of patience is a master

of everything else.

Fall in Love with the

process of becoming your

highest self on a daily basis.

Do not idly waste your days, for the

night will come when your

opportunities for work will be gone.

Ask yourself at every moment,

"Is this necessary?"

Live as if you were

accountable to your future

self; every decision shapes

the person you become.

Patience is not passive,

on the contrary it is 

concentrated strength.

Use the weekend to

build the life you want

instead of trying to

escape the life you have.
