Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Freedom and independence form my character.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

Only in the darkness, you are able to see the stars.

If you can't you must, and if you must you can.

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

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

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

Know thyself.

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

Sovereignty is not given, it is taken.

I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.

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

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

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

Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is.
