I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him.
