George Foreman, former heavyweight boxing champion

“There will always be people who doubt you or try to stand in your way.

But if you’ve considered the pros and cons and made a plan you
believe in — whether it’s for launching a new career, trying out
for a play, or homeschooling your kids — then don’t let those
people stop you.

Just give them a polite smile and go on with what you’re doing.”

“I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays, and have things
arranged for them, that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas”

Agatha Christie
