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.

I think nature's imagination Is so much greater than man's, she's never going to let us relax.

When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks should be.

The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

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

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.

Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain

We could all take a lesson from crayons: some are sharp, some are beautiful, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they still learn to live in the same box...

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

There is always room at the top.

I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.

You are never too old to become younger!

Never stand begging for what one has the power to earn.

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
