My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

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

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

The heart is not like a box that gets filled up; it expands in size the more you love.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Forgiveness … is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing.

You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people, if you don't serve the people.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well, you do not stand in one place.

My dark days made me strong. Or maybe I already was strong, and they made me prove it.

If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.

I can't give you a recipe for success, but I can give you a recipe for failure: try to please everybody.
