Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.

You shape your own destiny.

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.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I am possible'

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Duty does not require any person to submit to the destruction of his personal ambitions and the right to live his own life in his own way.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

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 meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

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...

A man can't soar too high, when he flies with his own wings.

You got to get it while you can.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

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