Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me.

Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

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.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.

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.

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

I will take fate by the throat; it will never bend me completely to its will.

I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.

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

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