Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.

Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristics in men.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.

This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble.

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.

Impossible is just an opinion.

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

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, Can circumvent or hinder or control. The firm resolve of a determined soul. Gifts count for nothing; will alone is great; All things give way before it, soon or late.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting and achieving goals.

It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.

I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.

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.

The man who earns a million, but destroys his health in the process is not really a success.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.
