Be yourself. No one else can be you.

Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power.

The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.

Relish the opportunity to be an outsider. Embrace that label – being an outsider is fine, embrace the label – because it’s the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.

It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.

If you are not personally free to be yourself in that most important of all human activities … the expression of love … then life itself loses its meaning.

It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly.

Fact: If standard of living is your number one objective, quality of life almost never improves. But if quality of life is your number one objective, standard of living invariably improves.

Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die.

Yes, we can

Don’t count the things you do, do the things that count.

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.
