Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

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.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

The man with no imagination has no wings.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised.

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

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

Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.

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

In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path.

I will take fate by the throat; it will never bend me completely to its will.
