I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
Courage is the ability to go from failure to failure with enthusiasm.
It happens that once we learn a thing, the motivation to keep it up grows and expands further as well. If you're going through hell, keep going.
I am not sure I should have dared to start; but I am sure that I should not have dared to stop.
If you find something you really love, you will never work again.
I am easily satisfied with the very best.
We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.
When you are going through hell, keep on going. Never never never give up.
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds.
To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.
Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.
Never, never, never give up.
