People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book.

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

We're lost, but we're making good time

You see things; you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession.

The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.

You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

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

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

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

We must have perserverence and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
