Nothing can bring you happiness but yourself. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

When we direct our thoughts properly, we can control our emotions.

Believe me, the reward is not so great without the struggle.

What is needed is not a change of circumstance, but a change of consciousness.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' You won't believe what you can accomplish by attempting the impossible with the courage to repeatedly fail better.

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

Occupants of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it.

I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls; the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.

---

Don't try to rush progress. Remember -- a step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. Keep believing.

---

Erase from your mind that your preparation must be perfect. Hard work + dedication = a shot at your dreams. Keep believing.
