“I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody.”

Be with a leader when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but, leave him when he is wrong.

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.

Philly gave me my ambition and drive to get more. It’s a reminder to stay on top of my game. That’s not a place I want to go back to.

Use the power of your mind. But don’t let your imagination dominate your ambitions.

So many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.

Don’t quack like a duck, soar like an eagle.

When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated, and ambitious.

Until women are as ambitious as men, they’re not gong to achieve as much as men.

There is always something moving, brewing. There are ambitious people everywhere. Wicked people. The only thing to do is to deal with them with courage and decision. One must beware of uncertainty, weakness or conflicting emotions – they lead to defeat.

Ambition is an uncomfortable companion many times. He creates a discontent with present surroundings and achievements; he is never satisfied but always pressing forward to better things in the future. Restless, energetic, purposeful, it is ambition that makes of the creature a real man.
