One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.

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.

Ideas come from everything

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

To go too far is as bad as to fall short.

You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!

Yelling at living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones may break our bones, but words will break our hearts...

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

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

I will take fate by the throat; it will never bend me completely to its will.

Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.

It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.

There is always room at the top.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

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

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

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