My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

I don’t think we are going to become extinct. We are very clever and very resourceful.

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

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

Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.

When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

Above all things, respect yourself.

Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain

We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

To see me does not necessarily mean to see my face. To understand my thoughts is to have seen me.

Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

In life, you need either inspiration or desperation.

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

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

Be yourself, let you come through.
