The sky will bow down to your beauty, if you do.

Before a man can accomplish anything of an enduring nature in the world, he must first of all acquire some measure of success in the management of his own mind.

He who has so little knowledge of human natures as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

At the center of your being you are the answer. You know who you are, and you know what you want.

If everyone was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes.

The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself.

Those who enjoy responsibility usually get it; those who merely enjoy exercising authority usually lose it.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.
