As best as I can tell, young people today rolls their eyes and insert “ear budsâ€ when they hear the words: Shakespeare, Confucius, anything from the Bible, as well as anything from their parents.

So my favorite quotes will remain unsourced.

“Don’t get behindâ€ (a wise man told me this as I left home for college; hint: he paid the tuition).

“The way to do is to beâ€ (you are who you are and will still be yourself, even on game day, win or lose;  hint: he’s Asian).

“Set your heart on your work, but never on the reward. Don’t work for a reward, but never cease to do the workâ€ (edited a bit from the original. hint: India).
