Everyone has oceans to fly, if they have the heart to do it.

Towering in the confidence of twenty-one.

Honor bespeaks worth. Confidence begets trust. Service brings satisfaction. Cooperation proves the quality of leadership.

Here must all distrust be left behind; all cowardice must be ended.

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

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

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them, they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will sink out of sight.

Unless above himself he can erect himself, how poor a thing is man!

Thinking too well of people often allows them to be better than they otherwise would.

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

When you say 'yes' to others, make sure you are not saying 'no' to yourself.

If you compromise your own conscience, you will weaken your conscience. Soon your conscience will fail to guide you and you never will have real wealth based on peace of mind.

You don't have to be big or well known to be great.

There is only one success—to be able to spend your life in your own way.

The reason angels can fly is because they take themselves lightly.
