Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention ... arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

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

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

Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

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

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.

I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.
