Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

In life, you need either inspiration or desperation.

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

I think nature's imagination Is so much greater than man's, she's never going to let us relax.

We could all take a lesson from crayons: some are sharp, some are beautiful, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they still learn to live in the same box...

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.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

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

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

The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.

Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.
