This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

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.

My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

A liar will not be believed even when he speaks the truth.

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

You see things; you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

People die from typewriters falling on their heads.

It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks should be.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

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

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
