A long apprenticeship is the most logical way to success. The only alternative is overnight stardom, but I can't give you a formula for that.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’ve ever imagined.

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

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

The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

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

I am the lizard king. I can do anything.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.

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 accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
