Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
Do whatever comes your way to do as well as you can. Think as little as possible about yourself. Think as much as possible about other people. Dwell on things that are interesting. Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
Each time you learn something new you must readjust the whole framework of your knowledge
I shall either find a way, or make one (attributed)
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
If someone betrays you once, it’s their fault; if they betray you twice, it’s your fault.
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.
Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, ‘It can’t be done.’
