Ideas come from everything

We do not consider our principles as dogmas contained in books said to come from heaven. We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or the unseen world, but directly from life.

Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

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.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

To attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

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

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book.

Above all things, respect yourself.

Don?t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

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