Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

I believe in the power of weakness.

An artist should have more than two eyes.

You manage things, you lead people. We went overboard on management and forgot about leadership.

The criminal classes are so close to us that even the policemen can see them.

What can't be changed must be endured.

There is enough reality in my life, so I try not to read things that have too much stress.
