You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise!
Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
Respect yourself and others will respect you.
There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
Today is your day, your mountain is waiting. So get on your way.
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.
You may think there is a lot wrong with you, but there is also a lot right with you.
The best revenge is massive success.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
You can’t make someone feel good about themselves until you feel good about yourself.
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
To acquire true self power you have to feel beneath no one, be immune to criticism and be fearless.
The more you see yourself as what you'd like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you'll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.
We are what we believe we are.
If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.
If you haven't confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.
