If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

What does not destroy me, makes me strong.

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

My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.

For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that's important.

I am the captain of my soul.

Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre.

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

I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am.

Argue not concerning God,re-examine all that you have been told at church or school or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your soul

Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.

Don't fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

When I give, I give myself.
