I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

One man with courage is a majority.

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.

You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.

I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’ve ever imagined.

Every problem is a gift - without problems we would not grow.

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

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.

For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Don?t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.
