Two-thirds of help is to give courage.

Do not feel certain of anything.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

A leader who does not take advice is not a leader.

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

No man will ever bring out the Presidency the reputation which carries him into it.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

Fear gives intelligence even to fools.

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing!

Friends accept you the way you are.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

It is the responsibility of leadership to work intelligently with what is given, and not to waste time fantasizing about a world of flawless people and perfect choices.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and knowledge are not infused into us from without.

To change your mind and to follow him who sets you straight is to be nonetheless the free agent that you were before.

To educate in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

I want you to be everything that's you, deep at the center of your being.
