“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.”

Achievement has no color.

Let us have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him.

Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.

If frienship is your weakest point then you are the strongest person in the world.

Nothing will divert me from my purpose.

The better part of one’s life consists of his friendships.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

All I have learned, I learned from books.

Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.

Those who write clearly have readers, those who write obscurely have commentators.

I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it.

It was a very emotional dinner. Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.

We become what we think about. Energy flows where attention goes.

I don’t run with wolves, the wolves run with me.

People always say be humble, live humble, and stay humble. When was the last time somebody told you to be great, to be amazing, to be extraordinary?

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day.

How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all of its beauty? It felt the encouragement of Light against its being; otherwise we all remain too frightened.

There is always something to be grateful for. Pure love has no conditions or boundaries. Love does not restrain itself or hold back. Love gives all the time and doesn’t ask for anything in return. Love is a continuous flow without any limits. And all of this is inside you.

I came into this world screaming. I plan to leave it quieter, softer and letting everything I’ve done do the talking.
