Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.

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

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

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.

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

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

We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

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

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

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

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

Everything you can imagine is real.
