Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

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

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

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

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

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.

I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

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

If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse.

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

Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

Though the road's been rocky it sure feels good to me.

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.

Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.

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

Dare to be free, dare to go as far as your thought leads, and dare to carry that out in your life.

They alone live, who live for others.
