Gratitude is an illness suffered by dogs.

If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?

I am the lizard king. I can do anything.

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not.

Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain

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

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Know thyself.

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

When all is said and done, more is said than done.

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.

I just want to be able to play and make people feel good with what I do. When you're thinking that way, anything can happen. And, usually, what happens is good.

I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself.
