In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.

The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.

You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.

We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Let him who would move the world first move himself.

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.

How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him.

The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

He who chooses the beginning of the road chooses the place it leads to.

For we walk by faith, not by sight

So many people have this idea: I want to achieve something great or be somebody great. And they neglect the step that leads to greatness. They don't honor this step at this moment because they have this idea of some future moment where they are going to be great.

It is not the strength, but the duration, of great sentiments that makes great men.

Language is very powerful. Language does not just describe reality. Language creates the reality it describes.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.
