If it is a crime to love the South, its cause and its President, then I am a criminal. I would rather lie down in this prison and die than leave it owing allegiance to a government such as yours.

Never make negative comments or spread rumors about anyone. It depreciates their reputation and yours.

Years ago I went into my laboratory and said, 'Dear Mr. Creator, please tell me what the universe was made for?' The Great Creator answered, 'You want to know too much for that little mind of yours. Ask for something more your size, little man.'

When you are looking to be validated by others, you are living according to their values, not yours.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours.

Sonder is the realization that every individual passerby has their own life just as vivid and complex as yours.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

Follow your own passion - not your parents', not your teachers' - yours.

If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never yours to begin with.

No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.

My countrymen: we have reached a turning point in our history. The choice is yours. Shall we venture into this brave new world, bright with possibilities, or retreat to the safety of our familiar but sterile past? I am for crossing the frontier.

Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you. When you occupy it, step into it consciously, you live it.

There's a shortage of perfects breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

Your grief path is yours alone, and no one else can walk it, and no one else can understand it.

If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.

It is the mind which creates the world around us, and even though we stand side by side in the same meadow, my eyes will never see what is beheld by yours, my heart will never stir to the emotions with which yours is touched.

Confound not faith and feeling together. They are distinct. Faith is ours to exercise. Believe, believe. Let your faith take hold of the blessing, and it is yours by faith. Your feelings have nothing to do with this faith.

It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
