Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.

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

It always seems impossible until it's done.

We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

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

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

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

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.

Above all things, respect yourself.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

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

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

All thinking men are atheists.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.
