Ask not what
your planet can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your planet.
Be the change
you want to see in the world.
The first sign
of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to
the left.
Are you gonna
do something, or are you just gonna stand there and bleed?
If we fail to
act, we will end up with a different planet.
A journey of a
thousand miles begins with a single step.
If you want to
accomplish anything in life, you can't just sit back and hope it will
happen. You've got to make it happen.
The beginning
is the half of every action.
One does evil
enough when one does nothing good.
Don't judge
each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.
One generation
plants the trees; another gets the shade.
Life is not a
spectator sport, join the game!
Success
consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
No pain, no
gain.
One's never
too old to do goofy stuff.
Be not afraid
of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.
There is only
me stopping me from being successful.
What counts is
not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the
fight in the dog.
If you can't
learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.
The first step
is the hardest.
When looking
for faults use a mirror, not a telescope.
I've always
felt it was not up to anyone else to make me give my best.
Pay no
attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been erected to a
critic.
Better late
than never.
Everyone is
trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up
of little things.
Practice is
everything.
Better to
light a candle than to curse the darkness.
It is amazing
what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
A man who has
committed a mistake and does not correct it is committing another
mistake.
Realize that
if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have
the time to do something about it.
I find the
great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what
direction we are moving.
A problem is
your chance to do your best.
Character
is defined by what we are willing to do when the spotlight has been
turned off, when the applause has died down, and no one is around to
give us credit.
It often takes
more courage to change ones opinion than to keep it.
No cross, no
crown.
Go as far as
you can see, and when you get there, you'll see farther.
You are a
superhero to someone. So act like one. Someone is watching.
If
we wait to foil a bank robbery or rescue someone tied on the railroad
tracks we will never be a hero. We probably won't even come across a
cat stuck in a tree. As long as we sit at the bus stop waiting for our
great moment we will miss our real chance at the heroic: the infinite
number of tiny daily acts inspired by the great. Our actions may seem
insignificant, but their results will grow and multiply.
Every person
you meet knows something you don't, learn from them.
The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
