Always do what you are afraid to do.

When all is said and done, more is said than done.

When every physical and mental resource is focused, one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.

Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised.

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

I do not want to die rusting, I prefer to burn out.

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 great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

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

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

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.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

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