Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.

United we stand; divided we fall.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

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

Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

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

Always do what you are afraid to do.

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

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

I am the captain of my soul.

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

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

The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.

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

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

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