“Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.”

Apply this simple rule to your conversations: If you wouldn’t write it down and sign it, don’t say it.

Don’t judge those who try and fail. Judge only those who fail to try.

May your life be crowded with unexpected joys.

It’s not your job to get people to like you, it’s your job to like people.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.

Remember that creating a successful marriage is like farming: you have to start over again every morning.

Your mind can only hold one thought at a time. Make it a positive and constructive one.

A racehorse that consistently runs just a second faster than another horse is worth millions of dollars more. Be willing to give that extra effort that separates the winner from the one in second place.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.

No matter how hard you hug your money, it never hugs back.

Every person that you meet knows something you don’t; learn from them.

Improve your performance by improving your attitude.

Remember that no time is ever wasted that makes two people better friends.

Live and learn and pass it on.

The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be in itself a power.

Whatever you fear most has no power–it is your fear that has the power.

Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.

Go on with a spirit that fears nothing.
