To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

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

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.

The best revenge is massive success.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.

The purpose of our lives is to be happy.

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
