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.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

What does not destroy me, makes me strong.

How long should you try? Until.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

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

For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.

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.

Our patience will achieve more than our force.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

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