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

Too much sanity may be madness - and the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.

The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Make today worth remembering.

Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

Human dignity consists in the role we must play in our own perfection. Taking a role in our own self-completion is the highest expression of our creativity.

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

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

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

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

I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

You got to get it while you can.

Freedom and independence form my character.
