You will never get to the end of the journey if you stop to shy a stone at every dog that barks.

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

If you are going through hell keep going.

Do everything you can to make it around the system, over the system, or out the system.
