Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

Aim for the highest.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am.

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

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Things may come to those who wait but only the things left by those who hustle.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

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

United we stand; divided we fall.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

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