Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Exuberance is beauty.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Every noble work is at first impossible.

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

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

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