Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.

Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

Freedom and independence form my character.

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

All thinking men are atheists.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Only when I fall do I get up again.

Ideas come from everything

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.
