Calendar quotes

Here are a few inspiring quotes found off of my sister's 2006 wall calendar. I only copied the ones I like, and my faves are August and April.

August: "Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still" (Chinese proverb*).

December: "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars" (Les Brown**).

January: "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which s/he has overcome" (Booker T. Washington).

February: "Become the change you want to see" (Oprah Winfrey).

March: "Only those who will risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go" (TS Elliot).

April: "We never do anything well, unless we love it for its own sake" (Mary Wollstonecraft).

June: "Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream" (Malcolm Muggeridge).

*Can anyone find the Chinese version for me, please?
**I bought a rubber stamp of that quote with a drawing of a sheep on it, in 1998.
