My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

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

For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

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

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.

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

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.

When they say the sky's the limit to me that's really true

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

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

We're lost, but we're making good time

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.
