Life changing philosophical thoughts

Manners makes the man.

Life is short.

The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Kings don't run.

There's no value doing something if it's easy. Keep trying, keep improving. An achievement is only an achievement if it cost you something.

Also, don't judge yourself against others, judge yourself against your former self.
