What does not destroy me, makes me strong.

My dear friend, clear your mind of cant.

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

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

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

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

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.

Duty does not require any person to submit to the destruction of his personal ambitions and the right to live his own life in his own way.

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

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.

You have to work hard to get to the top of your game. I think every writer has doubts! I still do all the time.

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

I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.

A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

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

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.
