There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

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

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

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

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not.

Ideas come from everything

When every physical and mental resource is focused, one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

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

Be yourself, let you come through.

Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'.
