I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

The best friend is he that, when he wishes a person's good, wishes it for that person's own sake.

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

When someone tells me “no,” it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

I have stood on a mountain of no's for one yes.
