When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world.

Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

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

There is always room at the top.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession.

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