The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

Freedom and independence form my character.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style

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

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession.

Winners and losers aren't born, they are the products of how they think

One man with courage is a majority.

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

When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.

People throw stones at you and you convert them into milestones.

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