If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.

Stand firm as surefooted as deer.

When you overcome the difficulties of life, you develop an inner strength

I see any difficulty as an adventure.

You will find the limit of strength with every new situation.

Set your soul to greatness. You will be great.

You have to believe in your dreams.

Look forward, in the direction of sunshine.

Work hard to fulfill your dreams.

Possibilities exist for you, to educate yourself, to the highest degree.

We can't reach old age by another mans road.

Every man is the architect of his own fortune.

Life is what our character makes it. We fashion it, as a snail does its shell. A man can say: I never made a fortune because it is not in my character to be rich.

Some minds seem almost to create themselves, springing up under every disadvantage and working their solitary but irresistible way through a thousand obstacles.

You will fetter my leg, but not Zeus himself can get the better of my free will.

In the history of the individual is always an account of his condition, and he knows himself to be a party to his present estate.

If we must accept Fate, we are not less compelled to affirm liberty, the significance of the individual, the grandeur of duty, the power of character.

Every spirit makes its house; but afterwards the house confines the spirit.

I have discovered that we may be in some degree whatever character we choose. Besides, practice forms a man to anything.

Every man is the son of his own works.
