The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew.
Do not let your fire go out.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.
Lying is like alcoholism. You are always recovering.
The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach.
Do not let your fire go out ... Do not let the Hero in your soul perish ... Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Be careful what you pray for.
Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
