Yoda on motivation and goals

Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Never give in⁠—never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Winston Churchill1874–1965Speech given at Harrow School, Harrow, England, October 29, 1941. Quoted in Churchill by Himself (2008), ed. Langworth, PublicAffairs, 2008, p. 23

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
