Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

A liar will not be believed even when he speaks the truth.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.

You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn't correct. We all start with all there is, it's how we use it that makes things possible.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

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.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.

First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.

Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

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.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.

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 get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.
