Responsibility

The fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and you alone. When you understand and accept this, then nothing, or no one, can deny you greatness. The power to succeed or fail is yours. And no one can take that away.

"As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is up to us."
Arnold J. Toynbee

"A man carries his success or his failure with him . . . it does not depend on outside conditions . . ."
Ralph Waldo Trine

"Not in time, place, or circumstances, but in the man lies success . . ."
Charles B. Rouss
