No amount of skillful invention can replace the essential element of imagination.

Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recovered at will.

Most people rush after pleasure so fast that they rush right past it.

In times of strife, we have our imagination, we have our creative impulse.

Progress is not possible without deviation.

To rank the effort above the prize may be called love.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

One day, if you have a little bit of talent and a lot of hard work, you're going to find out who you are.

We all accept too easily that life has to be hard and forget to make sure we have the most fun we can.

My heart is unlimited in the amount of love, but it is limited in the passion and commitment.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear.

In the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths.
