Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

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

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

If you can accept losing, you can't win.

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.

We must have perserverence and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

A man can't soar too high, when he flies with his own wings.

Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

Never stand begging for what one has the power to earn.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
