Life has got to be lived - that's all there is to it.
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.
When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.
Life is like a parachute jump, you've got to get it right the first time.
I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.
You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.
We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.
Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes.
It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.
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.
