Success waits patiently for anyone who has the determination and strength to seize it.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.

There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.

I would permit no man, no matter what his colour might be, to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

The happiest people are those who do the most for others. The most miserable are those who do the least.

Success is not measured by where you are in life, but the obstacles you've over come

Political activity alone cannot make a man free. Back of the ballot, he must have property, industry, skill, economy, intelligence, and character.

We all should rise, above the clouds of ignorance, narrowness, and selfishness.

I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed.

Love shows life is beautiful.. Life shows great people like you..

But all remains unchanged.

We all know smoking is bad. I know I'm going to quit someday, if I thought I wasn't I'd quit now.

Heroics are not easily had for the young in our times. Perhaps that is why they go to such extremes to create their own dangers.

Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.

I am committed to the principle that violence is never justified as a means of ameliorating a grievance.

To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don't skip on makeup and be sure to have flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes.

Grief can be a slow ache that never seems to stop rising, yet as we grieve, those we love mysteriously become more and more a part of who we are.

I found myself again and then found love.

Lord, make us mindful of the little things that grow and blossom in these days to make the world beautiful for us.
