And those whom once my song had cheered and gladdened, If still they live, rove through the world now saddened.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

I am unlikely to trust a sentence that comes easily.
