We do not consider our principles as dogmas contained in books said to come from heaven. We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or the unseen world, but directly from life.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

I love those who can smile in trouble...

There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.

All wealth is the product of labor.

I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

Only when I fall do I get up again.

It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Aim for the highest.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

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