Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.

If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

This above all: to thine own self be true.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
