If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

The man with no imagination has no wings.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune. And idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

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.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

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

Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.

One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.
