Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.

A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts...

How long should you try? Until.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear.

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.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Ideas come from everything

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

All wealth is the product of labor.

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

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.

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