I believe we are most likely to succeed when ambition is focused on noble and worthy purposes and outcomes rather than on goals set out of selfishness.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Passion is momentary love is enduring.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

Who are you? Where are you coming from? What are your strengths and ambitions? What makes you happy and fulfilled? What are your inherent gifts and talents? Clearly define yourself.

Trust is like a tear, once it is dropped, it cannot go back.

Stays focused and channel your little efforts through a common canal and you will marvel at the amount of pressure you create in that canal.

Goodwill... is an immeasurable and tremendous energy the atomic energy of the spirit.

A great goal in life is the only fortune worth finding.

Not as intolerable as being dead, in my opinion, but I'm very fond of me. I would miss me a lot.

I have often seen a cat without a grin - but a grin without a cat - remember the cat kept appearing and disappearing slowly bit by bit.

When I was in school, one of my teachers was crazy about me. I once heard her tell another teacher, "I wish he was my kid for one day!"

Intimacy requires courage because risk is inescapable. We cannot know at the outset how the relationship will affect us.

You all would be really shocked, if you were dropped back down into when I went to college, by the narrowness of the opinions you could get just by reading newspapers and magazines and watching TV.
