I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.

Never stand begging for what one has the power to earn.

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

Every intention is a trigger for transformation.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

A long apprenticeship is the most logical way to success. The only alternative is overnight stardom, but I can't give you a formula for that.

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.

In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path.

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak

Diligence is the mother of good fortune. And idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

Be yourself, let you come through.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Life is entrusted to man as a treasure which must not be squandered, as a talent which must be used well.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

Go on with what your heart tells you, or you will lose all.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

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