Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Success is most often a matter of competing with yourself for what is important to you as an individual.

Learn to choose and how it’s done… Learning what to choose and how to choose it is the best way of getting your bigger picture out of your passport size potentials!

There are no heroes and there are no villains. There are just opposing points of view. That's all history is...the viciously long battle between world views.

And make each day a critic on the last.

I sing the Star Spangled Banner, so I can get into football, basketball and baseball games for free.

The greatest work of an artist is the history of a painting.

Occupying armies have responsibilities, not rights. Their primary responsibility is to withdraw as quickly and expeditiously as possible, in a manner determined by the occupied population.

There would be a price... But if you were worried about the price, then why were you in the shop?

Oh, let me be mawkish for the nonce! I am so tired of being cynical.
