Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

To see me does not necessarily mean to see my face. To understand my thoughts is to have seen me.

When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on

You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.

Winners and losers aren't born, they are the products of how they think

One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

Only when I fall do I get up again.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

Go on with what your heart tells you, or you will lose all.

No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.

Life is entrusted to man as a treasure which must not be squandered, as a talent which must be used well.

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

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.
