Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.

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

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.
