Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

One shouldn't just hope to be treated well: one must insist on it.

Living with regrets is like driving a car that only moves in reverse.

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.

I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

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

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.
