We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.

With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.

We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.

The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‚I’m possible‘!

Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.

You can change your world by changing your words… Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

I give thanks to God and to all the people in the U.K. who have supported me over the years.

The spirit of man is more important than mere physical strength, and the spiritual fiber of a nation than its wealth.

I don’t know if I’ve ever cared much what others think.

On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we’re going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.

There are many things that happen every day that we could murmur about if we let ourselves go there. But they really aren’t worth the effort it takes to get upset and gripe about it.

Don’t let the incidents which take place in life bring you low. And certainly don’t whine. You can be brought low, that’s OK, but don’t be reduced by them. Just say, ‚That’s life.‘

I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself.

I don’t have many sad days.

Can people who hunger so desperately for what other people have ever have enough?

I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are.

Relish everything that’s inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

If literature isn’t everything, it’s not worth a single hour of someone’s trouble.

I don’t mind saying, you know, that I don’t take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books. It’s been printed all over, so I don’t feel like I am hiding anything.

I like to take every day just searching my own heart, making sure that I’m on course, and I’m doing what God wants me to do. I’m real good with not looking to the critics and looking straight ahead.

I’m not a star. I don’t feel I’m so great. So how can I make you feel great just because you’ve got my signature on a piece of paper?

Give a man health and a course to steer, and he’ll never stop to trouble about whether he’s happy or not.

Winning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.
