“All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.”

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.

I do not like to repeat successes I like to go on to other things.

You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

Let your heart guide you, it whispers so listen closely.

The human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life.

I function better when things are going badly than when they’re as smooth as whipped cream.

There is no magic in magic, it’s all in the details.

Laughter is no enemy to learning.

Even miracles take a little time.

Always fight for quality, whether giving or receiving.

Those who are clever, who have a brain, never understand anything.

Life is beautiful. It’s about giving. It’s about family.

If you can visualize it, if you can dream it, there’s some way to do it.

You don’t build it for yourself. You know what the people want and you build it for them.

That’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.

One cannot choose how one’s life begins but one can choose to face the end with courage

Optimism is the true moral courage.

I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I’m basically the same person I was when I won ‘Idol,’ or when I was 10.

It is not until you have the courage to engage in human relationships that you grow.

A Catholic is a person who has plucked up courage to face the incredible and inconceivable idea that something else may be wiser than he is.

God, help me to see others not as enemies or as ungodly but rather as thirsty people. And give me the courage and compassion to offer your Living Water, which alone quenches deep thirst.

Compassion is even more powerful than courage. Sure, with courage you can conquer a world – but only with compassion can you heal and build it.

Courage and kindness, loyalty, truth, and helpfulness are always the same and always needed.
