We can run away from where we are, but not from what we are.

Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Any man who can't control his thoughts can't control his actions, and any man who can't control his actions isn't safe in society.

I don't think anything is unrealistic if you believe you can do it.

Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself - things could always be worse and they are for someone else!

Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.

It sometimes seems that we live as if we wonder when life is going to begin. It isn't always clear just what we are waiting for, but some of us sometimes persist in waiting so long that life slips by - finding us still waiting for something that has been going on all the time. . . . This is the life in which the work of this life is to be done. Today is as much a part of eternity as any day a thousand years ago or as will be any day a thousand years hence. This is it, whether we are thrilled or disappointed, busy or bored! This is life, and it is passing.
