For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.

When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

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

If you put off everything till you're sure of it, you'll never get anything done.

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

Only when I fall do I get up again.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is.

I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.

Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

To attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.
