Insist on yourself. Never imitate.
Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.
It is only when the mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.
Imagination is not a talent of some men but is the health of every man.
Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Don’t waste your life in doubts and fears: Spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
