Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?

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

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

We are citizens of the world. The tragedy of our times is that we do not know this.

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If youre not, pretend you are.

I don't do fashion, I AM fashion.

Aim for the highest.

Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

Don't fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

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

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

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

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
