When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
