Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.

No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. No man is free who cannot command himself.

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

The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

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

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life

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

Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

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

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.

What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.

The man with no imagination has no wings.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

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.
