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

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

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

Gratitude is an illness suffered by dogs.

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.

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.

Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another.

I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

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

Don?t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.

It's not whether you got knocked down; it's whether you get back up.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is.
