Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

They alone live, who live for others.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention ... arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks should be.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

If you can accept losing, you can't win.

You shape your own destiny.

Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts...

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

Things may come to those who wait but only the things left by those who hustle.

The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.

Never tell all you know-not even to the person you know best.

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.

Gratitude is an illness suffered by dogs.

What does not destroy me, makes me strong.
