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.

Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised.

If you can't you must, and if you must you can.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.

Above all things, respect yourself.

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

Never stand begging for what one has the power to earn.

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

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

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

Human dignity consists in the role we must play in our own perfection. Taking a role in our own self-completion is the highest expression of our creativity.

Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.
