You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

No man will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties and prepared to assume responsibilities.

You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.

You can succeed if nobody else believes it, but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself.

Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.

Your greatness is measured by your kindness.

Beware of ignorance when in motion; look out for inexperience when in action, and beware of the majority when mentally poisoned with misinformation, for collective ignorance does not become wisdom.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone.

I'm trying to break any chain of negative parenting that I might have survived.

Superficial knowledge breeds arrogance; true knowledge induces humility.

Every budget I have ever prepared has been balanced.

People who love sausage and people who believe in justice should never watch either of them being made

Everything yields to diligence.

Colleges [have] forfeited the responsibilities of in loco parentis and have gone into the pimping and brothel business.

Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it.
