Blessed are they whose bodies get destroyed in the service of others.
If your sole focus is money, you may create a successful startup. But if it’s impact, you can probably create history.
My motivation for all my companies has been to be involved in something that I thought would have a significant impact on the world.
All I want to do is change the world.
The world is not changed by people who sort of care.
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.
Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.
You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.
An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
The thinking person must oppose all cruel customs, no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another.
You have to dream before your dreams can come true.
The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
Our destiny is not written for us, but by us.
We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it.
The future is ours to win. But to get there we can’t just stand still...
The future rewards those who press on. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on.
