You cannot succeed without failure.

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

We acquire a particular quality by acting in a particular way.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

The thought of only being a creature of the present and the past was troubling. I longed for a future, too, with hope in it. The desire to be free, awakened my determination to act, to think, and to speak.

What though strength fails? Boldness is certain to win praise. In mighty enterprises, it is enough to have had the determination.

To establish true self-esteem, we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

Failure is part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will never stand in the way of success if you learn from it.

Now what should happen when you make a mistake is this: You take your knocks, you learn your lessons and then you move on. That’s the healthiest way to deal with a problem.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

Far better it is to dare might things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they in the gray twilight that knows nor victory nor defeat.

It is always advisable to perceive clearly our ignorance.

Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.

Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the induction of a new order of things.

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.
