I don’t want to do what my idols did… I want to do more than they did. And I feel like I’m on my way.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one

Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.

A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know where it is today.

Mr. Blair, I look upon secession as anarchy. If I owned the four millions of slaves in the South, I would sacrifice them all to the Union; but how can I draw my sword upon Virginia, my native State?

There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.

A land without memories is a people without liberty.

Remember, we are all one country now. Dismiss from your mind all sectional feeling, and bring them up to be Americans.

I have always observed that wherever you find the negro, everything is going down around him, and wherever you find the white man, you see everything around him improving.

You cannot change any society unless you take responsibility for it, unless you see yourself as belonging to it and responsible for changing it.

Everybody wants happiness, and nobody wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain.

Failure results from broken focus, and an average person with complete unwavering focus can achieve more than a team of geniuses with broken focus.

The less I pray the harder it gets the more I pray the better it goes.

Real life is the life that's in you, not your circumstances, like where you live or what job you have or who you're in relationship with.

Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.

I think we're gonna end up with a much better relationship with Mexico. We will have the wall and in a very serious form Mexico will pay for the wall.

To me, the sea is like a person - like a child that I've known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I'm out there.

It keeps you grounded, you lead a regular life and you appreciate things more.

We love getting dressed up - and this is a great excuse for a party.

Somewhere at the heart of the universe sounds the true mystic note: Me.

Yea, I had a dream too. Looks like mine came true.
