Storms make trees take deeper roots.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

If the little bit you have is nothing special in itself, at least find a way of saying it that is a little bit special.

You can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.

Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.

I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

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

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.

There is always room at the top.

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

Things may come to those who wait but only the things left by those who hustle.

When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on

One man with courage is a majority.

What does not destroy me, makes me strong.
