Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena: whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.

Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.

The worst of all fears is the fear of living.

The government is us; we are the government, you and I.

When you play, play hard; when you work, don’t play at all.

A great democracy has got to be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy.

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.

Don’t get older; get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.

You could have left me in the jungle. I would have survived and mastered bird language. Adaptability is my secret weapon.

Sunflowers adapt to let the light reach them and I’m learning to do the same.
