No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.
When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.
Light a candle instead of cursing the darkness.
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
