Do one thing every day that scares you.

We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

The world is as you see it.

Execution is the chariot of genius.

We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.

“Courage is the first human quality because it is the quality which will guarantee all others.”

Ideally, life shouldn’t be an ongoing struggle to see the glass half-full, but rather an appreciation that there’s a glass at all.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me….

You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire. The other is to gain it.

Therefore the things which we allow into consciousness become extremely important for they are what define the content and quality of our existence.

As Rachel Naomi Remen puts it, “When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole.”

Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

Optimism is a force multiplier. 

I will find a way or make one. 

Live until you die.
