Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

Do what you can with what you have where you are.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.

Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage and confidence in the doing.

The only way to escape the corruptible effect of praise is to go on working.

Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one’s lifetime.

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.

It's impossible to protect your kids against disappointment in life.
