“Don’t paddle too close to the waterfalls. In other words, beware of places and situations that play to your weaknesses. Keep your guard up always.”

“When you're in a Slump,”

“You'd be surprised how easy some things can be, things you never thought you'd do, when you take self-respect out of the equation.”
