All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

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

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.

Winners and losers aren't born, they are the products of how they think

In life, you need either inspiration or desperation.

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.

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

Don't let anyone tell you what you ought to like... Some wines that some experts think are absolutely exquisite don't appeal to me at all.

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

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

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

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

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

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

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
