Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is
why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such
infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture
of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may
be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.

We must learn to reawaken and Keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavour.

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.
To affect the
quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

The 1966 Five Monkey Experiment illustrates social learning and operant conditioning. Monkeys learned to avoid climbing a ladder due to the fear of punishment, even without experiencing the cold water spray themselves. Over time, this behavior persisted as a tradition among the group.

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

There are no ordinary people. You have never
talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilisations these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.

But it is immortals whom we joke with,
work with, marry, snub, and exploit immortal horrors
or everlasting splendours.

If a man wants to become a hero the serpent must first become a dragon: otherwise he will lack his proper enemy.

— Friedrich Nietzsche

Without such challenges, a hero cannot fully realize their potential.
