No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

I dream, I test my dreams against my beliefs, I dare to take risks, and I execute my vision to make those dreams come true.

It is none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.

You have no idea what your legacy will be. Your legacy is what you do every day. Your legacy is every life you’ve touched, every person whose life was either moved or not. It’s every person you’ve harmed or helped. That’s your legacy.

Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness for the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in.
