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

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.

I love those who can smile in trouble...

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.

Drink moderately, for drunkenness neither keeps a secret nor observes a promise.

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

Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

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

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

When I give, I give myself.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
