Listen to many, speak to a few.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

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

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Why live an ordinary life, when you can live an extraordinary one.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.

We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

They alone live, who live for others.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

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

There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that's important.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
