A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.

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

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

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

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

Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being-we can do it.

We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

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

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

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

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.

Too much sanity may be madness - and the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
