We are surrounded by abysses, but the greatest of all depths is in our own heart, and an irresistible leaning leads us there. Draw thyself from thyself!

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

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.

Don't spend so much time chasing your future that you run over your present.

There have definitely been more than a few moments in my life where I'm wondering where the next paycheck will come from and how I'm gonna pay rent.

For, when all is said, as my friend George Rublee likes to put it, the only success is to be a success as a person; and it is still not too late for that.

We dont invent our natures. Theyre issued to us along with our lungs, our pancreas and everything else.

You have a deeper connection with people who you have shared experiences with and shared pain.

Don?t make decisions in anger or humiliate an enemy after defeating him.

As a man, you got to know how to take it, so I just took it.
