“He who has a why can deal with any what or how.”

Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.

The greatest risk is the risk of riskless living.

You can’t change the fruit without changing the root.

See every problem as an opportunity to exercise creative energy.

Don’t get buried in the thick of thin things.

Before you wonder “Am I doing things right?” wonder “Am I doing the right things?”
