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

It's not whether you got knocked down; it's whether you get back up.

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

The time is always right to do the right thing

The unexamined life is not worth living.

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

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts...

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

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

I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

If you can accept losing, you can't win.

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.

The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.

I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.

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.
