"Being happy is not a right, but a duty. …" — Yuuko Ichihara Quote

"Your happiness is your own business. Its a promise you make to yourself. It is a reward you give yourself for accomplishing what you set out to do, for achieving what you strive for. But if you fail to reward yourself for what you have accomplished, then you are essentially breaking a promise to yourself. Its like a breach of contract, compensation must always be made. You must pay all of the debts that you made, even to yourself."

"If you believe it was destined to happen it is most likely to happen, if you believe nothing has been decided then most likely nothing has been decided."

"If you've decided that you can't do it even before you act, you have already made it into something impossible."

"Learn to make your own decisions, instead of relying on others to make them for you. Otherwise, those decisions will never really be made."

"Sincerity with respect to yourself! No matter what your objective... no matter who you are... if you are going to do something or not do something, that is a promise to yourself. And the one who keeps the promise, or breaks the promise, is you. No one else can be burdened with holding you to a promise that's made to yourself."

"The world... is a very small place, but... for those who know it, it is very, very large. And the world... when it is viewed by those who know... is far larger than just one world can hold."
