Because talent isn't genius$$$ and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great$$$ or nothing.

Life and love are very precious when both are in full bloom.

I've got the key to my castle in the air$$$ but whether I can unlock the door remains to be seen.

When you are measuring life$$$ you are not living it.

Good writers define reality. Bad ones merely restate it.

Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.

We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.

He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another.

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

Better no rule than cruel rule.
