“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”

The shadows that now lie dark upon our path will soon be dispelled and we shall walk with the light all about us if we but be true to ourselves.

What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind.

All things come to him who waits – provided he knows what he is waiting for.

America cannot be an ostrich with its head in the sand.

It’s harder for a leader to be born in a palace than to be born in a cabin.

Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome inflation created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy.

Liberty does not consist in mere declarations of the rights of man. It consists in the translation of those declarations into definite action.

Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.

Segregation is not humiliating but a benefit.

Men grow by having responsibility laid upon them.

There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.

A man’s rootage is more important than his leafage.

I am the friend of peace and mean to preserve it for America so long as I am able. No course of my choosing or of their (nations at war) will lead to war. War can come only by the wilful acts and aggressions of others.

You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand

The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus.

It’s not about me, it’s about how I can help my team to achieve more. And I do that through scoring goals.

Everything I have achieved in football is due to playing football in the streets with my friends

There are many things I want, and the only way I will get them is to keep my head down, listen to the right people and work hard.

Our worth isn’t connected to our achievements. It’s connected to the beauty of our soul.

If you are determined and confident, there is nothing in this great existence that can stop you from achieving what you want.

I have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.

I just keep surprising myself, I guess.
