Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

Freedom and independence form my character.

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.

You lose nothing when fighting for a cause ... In my mind the losers are those who don't have a cause they care about.

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?

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

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.
