The unexamined life is not worth living.

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.

There is always room at the top.

A long apprenticeship is the most logical way to success. The only alternative is overnight stardom, but I can't give you a formula for that.

It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.

Do not worry about holding high position; worry rather about playing your proper role.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’ve ever imagined.

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.

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

I love those who can smile in trouble...

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.

I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter; I didn't have time to write a short one.
