The time is always right to do the right thing

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

To attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.

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

Be yourself, let you come through.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.

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

The man with no imagination has no wings.

Ideas come from everything

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.

Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes.

When I give, I give myself.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

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

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

You lose nothing when fighting for a cause ... In my mind the losers are those who don't have a cause they care about.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

I will never be by violence constrained to do anything.
