Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.

I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.

If you want to study yourself, look into the hearts of other people. If you want to study other people, look into your own heart.

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late some day.

Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on man unless they act.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

If you want to study yourself look into the hearts of other people. If you want to study other people look into your own heart.

To be tested is good. The challenged life may be the best therapist.
