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

You shape your own destiny.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

Human dignity consists in the role we must play in our own perfection. Taking a role in our own self-completion is the highest expression of our creativity.

No leader can be too far ahead of his followers.

Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.

Every nation has the right to demand proper treatment and no country should violate the territory of any other country.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

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