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

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

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

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.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Make today worth remembering.

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?

Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.

The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

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

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

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

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.

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.

You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’ve ever imagined.

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

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
