My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style

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

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

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

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

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex.

I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.

Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

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

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

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.

I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.
