Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

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

The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.

Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

I am the captain of my soul.

For every dark night, there's a brighter day

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

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

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.

Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.

I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.
