Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.
Freedom lies in being bold.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.
Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.
If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.
We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
You can suffer the pain of change or suffer remaining the way you are.
When things go wrong, don’t go with them.
You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world. If you do so, you are insulting yourself.
If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.
Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.
You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.
