Dreams are the touchstones of our characters.

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

One can acquire everything in solitude—except character.

Those disputing, contradicting, and confuting people are generally unfortunate in their affairs. They get victory, sometimes, but they never get good will, which would be of more use to them.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

The best index to a person’s character is how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and how he treats people who can’t fight back.

Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it.

Lie to a liar, for lies are his coin; steal from a thief, for that is easy; lay a trap for a trickster and catch him at first attempt, but beware of an honest man.

A fair character is a fair fortune.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal—a commitment to excellence—that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

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.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

Looking at the stars always makes me dream.

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.
