My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

To see me does not necessarily mean to see my face. To understand my thoughts is to have seen me.

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

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

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

Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you are willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it.

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

When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on

Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

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

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

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

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...

Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.

You can't live a perfect day until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

You see things; you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?
