A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned

To go too far is as bad as to fall short.

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

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

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.

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.

Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

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

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.

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.

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

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

The man with no imagination has no wings.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.
