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

I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years.

Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.

Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.

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

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!

The superior man thinks only of virtue; the common man thinks only of comfort.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.

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.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?

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

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.

Know thyself.

It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.
