People will support that which they help to create.

Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

Every achievement, big or small, begins in your mind.

A good goal is like a strenuous exercise - it makes you stretch.

Never give up, because you never know if the next try is going to be the one that works.

The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace 'if I can, I hope, maybe' with 'I can, I will, I must.

No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important.

Sandwich every bit of criticism between two heavy layers of praise.

Don't let the negatives of life control you. Rise above them. Use them as your stepping stones to go higher than you ever dreamed possible

Her body was rounded like earth. Stories. Breath. . . . Her eyes have been painted closed. I understand. To tell a story you must travel inward.

The double law of attraction and radiation or of sympathy and antipathy, of fixedness and movement, which is the principle of Creation, and the perpetual cause of life.

All great achievements are the result of sustained focus over time-all of them.

I think a composer is always interested in his last work.

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft.

I'm conservative. I was raised conservative, and that's the way I will vote.
