I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter; I didn't have time to write a short one.

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

Everything you can imagine is real.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

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

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

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
