Benjamin Franklin
“Sometimes, you must refrain from doing things you want so bad."”
Toba Beta
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”
Albert Ellis
“What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to 'get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy?”
William Shakespeare
“Let the first impulse pass, wait for the second.”
Baltasar Gracian
