Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

We can all be successful and make money, but when we die, that ends. But when you are significant is when you help other people be successful. That lasts many a lifetime.

Oh God, if there be cricket in heaven, let there also be rain.

First, you have to have fun. Second, you have to put love where your labour is. Third, you have to go in the opposite direction to everyone else.

People who are poor, they suffer a lot. And people drink a lot and people take a lot of downers and there's a lot of unemployment.

Writing is really wonderful art. A lot of this is discovery. A lot of things are lying around waiting to be discovered and that's our job as writers is to just notice them and bring them to life.

To revolutionaries the significant reality is the world which they are fighting to bring about, not the world they are fighting to overcome.

As long as you have not grasped that you have to die to grow, you are a troubled guest on the dark earth".
