“It matters not what a person is born, but who they choose to be.”
Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.”
Jackson Browne
““But that’s not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have just landed in them, usually - their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t. And if they had, we shouldn’t know, because they’d have been forgotten. We hear about those as just went on - and not all to a good end, mind you; at least not to what folk inside a story and not outside it call a good end””
J.R.R. Tolkien
“I do not much dislike the matter, but the manner of his speech.”
William Shakespeare
“Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
Confucius
“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.”
Wayne Dyer
“The way I see it, it doesn't matter what you believe just so you're sincere.”
Charles M. Schulz
“A person, who no matter how desperate the situation, gives others hope, is a true leader.”
Daisaku Ikeda
“It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.”
Brian Tracy
