My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

You lose nothing when fighting for a cause ... In my mind the losers are those who don't have a cause they care about.

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

Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.

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

If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being-we can do it.

No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. No man is free who cannot command himself.

Don?t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

Listen to many, speak to a few.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

Be yourself, let you come through.

We're lost, but we're making good time

Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.

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

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.
