Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

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.

Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how you land there.

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

In quietness the soul expands.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

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

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.
