I cannot live without books.

Whatever you are, be a

good one.

Everything you can imagine is

real.

Conscience is a man’s

compass.

If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd never get on.

Be the change you wish to see

in the world.

As you enter positions of trust

and power, dream a little before you

think.

All our knowledge has

its origins in our perceptions.

If you can't feed a hundred

people, then feed one.

Attitude is a little thing that

makes a big difference.

Each person must live their life as a model

for others.

99% of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

What is possible for me is possible for

you.

Laziness may appear attractive

but work gives satisfaction.

I say luck is when an opportunity

comes along and you're prepared

for it.

The only place success comes before work is the dictionary.

A leader is someone who brings people

together.

To learn to succeed, you

first must learn to fail.

We are different nations, but it

seems as if we were but one people, whites and all.

Don’t bother people for help without

first trying to solve the problem

yourself.

While they were saying among themselves it

cannot be done, it was done.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Don't complain.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The

important thing is not to stop questioning.

I have discovered in life that there are ways

of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want

to go.

A good leader gets people to follow him or her because they

want to, not because he or she makes them.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only

light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

You can't live a perfect day without doing

something for someone who will

never be able to repay you.

If you work really, really hard and

you're kind, amazing things will

happen.

In my early days, I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I

learned quickly.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small

minds discuss people.

Always remember, you have within you the

strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change

the world.

When you're curious, you find lots of

interesting things to do. And one thing it takes to accomplish something is

courage.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he

has overcome.

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own

reputation; for it is better to be alone than

in bad company.

The most important thing to remember is

this: To be ready at any moment to give up

what you are for what you might become.

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes

an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.

Without continual growth and progress, such words

as improvement, achievement, and success

have no meaning.

Be not afraid of greatness: Some are

born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness

thrust upon them.

My point is that the world is more

malleable than you think, and it’s waiting for you to hammer it

into shape.

The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have;

to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage

when things go wrong.

We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where

people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes …but don't want to work hard to

accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize

their full potential.

I’d like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one

another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to

extend himself as a human being.
