Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

It's not whether you got knocked down; it's whether you get back up.

A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks should be.

I am the captain of my soul.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.

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

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

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

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

We're lost, but we're making good time

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised.

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

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.
