Live, and be happy, and make others so.

Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just means that you're successful.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

To have courage for whatever comes in life — everything lies in that.

Let frustration fuel inspiration.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
