I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself.

When all is said and done, more is said than done.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

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

My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

If the little bit you have is nothing special in itself, at least find a way of saying it that is a little bit special.

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

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

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
