Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are

If you can accept losing, you can't win.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

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

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

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

I don't do fashion, I AM fashion.

To attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.

A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned

The one excellent thing that can be learned from a lion is that whatever a man intends doing should be done by him with a whole-hearted and strenuous effort.

Ideas come from everything

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.

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

To give real service, you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money.

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

A liar will not be believed even when he speaks the truth.

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