If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.

Though the road's been rocky it sure feels good to me.

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.

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

I will take fate by the throat; it will never bend me completely to its will.

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.

To attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

If you can dream it, you can do it.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

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.

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

I do not want to die rusting, I prefer to burn out.

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
