We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.

What’s to be ashamed of? I went through a really rough time, and I am quite proud that I got out of that.

If you seek the removal of freedoms from an opponent simply on the grounds that they have offended you, you have crossed a line to stand alongside tyrants who imprison, torture and kill on exactly the same justifications.

Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.

Ah music… a magic beyond all we do here!

Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.

Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight.

Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least.

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

Sometimes if you’re lucky someone comes into your life who’ll take up a place in your heart no one else can fill.

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

Get going. Move forward. Aim High. Plan a takeoff. Don’t just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won’t happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you’ll love it up here.

When you get into a ‘tight’place and everything goes against you, until it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, it is then when you should never give up, for that is just the place and time when the tide will turn.

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
