I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.

We cannot even reproduce our thoughts entirely in words.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking, while still in bed or while walking.

Most thinkers write badly, because they communicate not only their thoughts, but also the thinking of them.
