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

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

Only when I fall do I get up again.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

Make today worth remembering.

No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. No man is free who cannot command himself.

A lot of legends, a lot of people, have come before me. But this is my time.

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are

Argue not concerning God,re-examine all that you have been told at church or school or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your soul

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

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

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

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