By rigid practice and stern determination, it comes easy."
- Mark Twain

"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward."

"There is nothing in the world so difficult as that task of making up one's mind. Who is there that has not longed that the power and privilege of selection among alternatives should be taken away from him in some important crisis of his life, and that his conduct should be arranged for him, either this way or that, by some divine power if it were possible, - by some patriarchal power in the absence of divinity, - or by chance, even, if nothing better than chance could be found to do it? But no one dares to cast the die, and to go honestly by the hazard. There must be the actual necessity of obeying the die, before even the die can be of any use."
- Anthony Trollope, Phineas Finn

"Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn."
- Bertrand Russell

"Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery."
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"There are three things extremely hard: steel, diamond, and to know one's self."
- Benjamin Franklin
