I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.

You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.

If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being-we can do it.

Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.

I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.

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

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

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
