Arthur Golden
A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course of victory.
Arthur Golden
Nothing in life is ever as simple as we imagine.
Arthur Golden
I worried she might spend an afternoon chatting with me about the sights and then wish me best of luck.
Arthur Golden
His face was very heavily creased, and into each crease he had tucked some worry or other, so that it wasn't really his face any longer, but more like a tree that had nests of birds in all of the branches. He had to struggle constantly to manage it and always looked worn out from the effort.
Arthur Golden
Neither you nor I can know your destiny. You may never know it! Destiny isn't always like a party at the end of the evening. Sometimes it's nothing more than struggling through life from day to day.
Arthur Golden
No one knows the author of memoir so well like himself.
Arthur Golden
Every man has his destiny. But who needs to go to a fortune-teller to find it? Do I go to a chef to find out if I'm hungry?
