I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

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

My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

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

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.

Don't stop chasing your dreams, because dreams do come true.

We do not consider our principles as dogmas contained in books said to come from heaven. We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or the unseen world, but directly from life.

Only in the darkness, you are able to see the stars.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once.

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

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
