“As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.”

We should never lose an occasion. Opportunity is more powerful even than conquerors and prophets.

You will find as you grow older that courage is the rarest of all qualities to be found in public life.

There is moderation even in excess.

The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.

Change is inevitable. Change is constant.

The secret of success is to be ready when your opportunity comes.

In a progressive country change is constant; change is inevitable.

Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.

Be amusing: never tell unkind stories; above all, never tell long ones.

Almost everything that is great has been done by youth.

The best advice I can give you is to ask yourself what do you want, then ask ‘what is true’ – and then ask yourself ‘what should be done about it.’ I believe that if you do this you will move much faster towards what you want to get out of life than if you don’t!

Any year that you don’t destroy one of your best-loved ideas is probably a wasted year.

You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don’t win, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried. If you don’t accept failure as a possibility, you don’t set high goals, you don’t branch out, you don’t try – you don’t take the risk.

In my experience the best way to beat depression is to get involved in something inspiring.

I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given. Children orientate towards examples. That’s why I talk solely positive about my body in front of my daughter.
