The road to success is paved with the hot asphalt of failure.

The path of destiny is not always paved smooth with gold.

It would do me well to realize that the path that has led me to where I am was mapped by those who taught me and paved by what they taught me. Therefore, if God is not my teacher and His truth is not my topic I will find myself where I don’t want to be, having trod a path I didn’t want to take.

Ignorance does not pave the path for life.

We got where we are because our choices mapped the route and paved the road.

I paved the path to the very place I don’t want to be. But passing the blame off to someone else doesn’t put me any place else.
