Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

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

I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

In life, you need either inspiration or desperation.

I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.

A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

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

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.

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

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

You shape your own destiny.

No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. No man is free who cannot command himself.

All thinking men are atheists.

A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
