What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.

If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

In life, you need either inspiration or desperation.

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

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

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.

First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.

Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering

Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your own doorstep is unclean.

The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

How long should you try? Until.
