The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

How long should you try? Until.

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.

If you put off everything till you're sure of it, you'll never get anything done.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

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

You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
