The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.

One man with courage is a majority.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.

I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Go on with what your heart tells you, or you will lose all.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

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

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.

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

If you can accept losing, you can't win.

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

My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

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

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
