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.

We travel. Some of us forever. To seek other states, other lives, other souls.

The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-nes

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

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

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

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.

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

Don't fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

Do not worry about holding high position; worry rather about playing your proper role.

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.

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

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
