When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that's important.

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

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

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

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

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Never tell all you know-not even to the person you know best.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention. Invention ... arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a patter of systems.

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire
