Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

People should pursue what they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

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

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

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

They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

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

A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.

Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts...

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

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire.

For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.
