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

There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

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

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.

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

People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book.

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

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

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

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

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

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

If you can't you must, and if you must you can.

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

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
