The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

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

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire

Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.

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

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

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

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 can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
