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

We need never be ashamed of our tears.

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.

Do not let it be your aim to be something, but to be someone.

Be not ashamed women, ... You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

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

They alone live, who live for others.

Above all things, respect yourself.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

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

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
