Never bend your head, always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face.

I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.

The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.

Our life does not develop as a result of chance, but as a result of causes.

We don’t choose to be role models; we are chosen. Our only choice is whether to be a good role model or a bad one.

Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words

Fear not those who argue but those who dodge.

The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion.

The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.

No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he as imagined, he will meet with success unexpectedly in common hours.

Thinking too well of people often allows them to be better than they otherwise would.
