The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

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.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

The man with no imagination has no wings.

A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

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

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

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

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.

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

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

I will never be by violence constrained to do anything.

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
