Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs
