Don't fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.

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

I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.

You are never too old to become younger!

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

There is always room at the top.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

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

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

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

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

You have to work hard to get to the top of your game. I think every writer has doubts! I still do all the time.

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

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

I believe that every person is born with talent.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
