"Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our own choosing.

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one."
"We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny."

"A boundary is not that at which something stops, but that from which something begins."
