What do you mean I have to wait for someone's approval?  I'm someone.  I approve.  So I give myself permission to move forward with my full support!

When a person boldly declares 'You can't' he might as well add on 'Can you?' knowing that this spoken roadblock only serves to fuel a challenge in naturally stubborn souls.

If you think the most courageous and difficult thing you can do is stubbornly stand your ground, try graciously giving in.

If you plan to build walls around me, know this—I will walk through them.

Disappointment is really just a term for our refusal to look on the bright side.

It's an unfortunate fact that I'm easily discouraged. But the fortunate truth is I'm stubborn as hell and near impossible to sway in my resolve.

You tell me that yes, I can do it. I know. And I may do it, if I so choose.You tell me that no, I cannot. I say, Oh? I shall do it, since you refuse!

A stubbornly proud man cannot humble himself; he has neither the strength nor the courage. So have pity, then, and forgive him.

Che significa che devo avere l'approvazione di qualcuno? Io sono qualcuno. Io approvo. Quindi do il permesso a me stesso di andare avanti con il mio pieno supporto.
