Your beliefs become your thoughts, Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your values, Your values become your destiny.
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.
It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall.. think of it, always.
You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
Be the compromise you want to see in the world.
No matter how insignificant the thing you have to do, do it as well as you can, give it as much of your care and attention as you would give to the thing you regard as most important. For it will be by those small things that you shall be judged.
If you worry about yesterday's failures, then today's successes will be few. The future depends on what we do in the present
Be the change you want to see.
Freedom and slavery are mental states.
If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
I claim to be no more than the average person with less than average ability. I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith.
