I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.

You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

Know thyself.

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

Things may come to those who wait but only the things left by those who hustle.

It may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.

People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book.

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.

Freedom and independence form my character.

In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.

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

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

He that can have patience can have what he will.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.
