Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.

The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world.

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

We are all of us obliged... to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

All mistakes teach us something, so there are, in reality, no mistakes.

Many are the wonders of the world, and none so wonderful as man.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

I learned that you have to push away the demand of people's expectations by believing in your instincts.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
