Freedom and independence form my character.

Don't stop chasing your dreams, because dreams do come true.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

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

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...

People should pursue what they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.

The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.

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

Above all things, respect yourself.

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

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

Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.

I don't do fashion, I AM fashion.

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

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

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

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

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.
