In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path.

Know thyself.

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

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.

One must maintain a little bittle of summer, even in the middle of winter.

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

Find out who you are. And do it on purpose.

For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.

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

Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

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.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

You lose nothing when fighting for a cause ... In my mind the losers are those who don't have a cause they care about.

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