I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.

Know thyself.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.

I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years.

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.
