My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

Never stand begging for what one has the power to earn.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

A sudden dart when a little over a hundred feet from the end of the track, or a little over 120 feet from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!

There is always room at the top.

You shape your own destiny.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
