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

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

Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'.

You can't live a perfect day until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

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

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

I do not want to die rusting, I prefer to burn out.

United we stand; divided we fall.

In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path.

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.

The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.

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

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.

One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.

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

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.

Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.
