One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

For every dark night, there's a brighter day

If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn't correct. We all start with all there is, it's how we use it that makes things possible.

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Find out who you are. And do it on purpose.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

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