When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

The person who takes no chances generally has to take whatever is left when others are through choosing.

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

When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.

You can't live a perfect day until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak

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

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

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

Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.

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.

What I stand for is what I stand on.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

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