Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

I never lose. Either I win or learn.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

Lead from the back and let others believe they are in front.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.
