You know, you're living in a society where if you say something that you might think may be OK, when it's more sensitive to that particular culture. You have to be very, very careful.

People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives.

When you have a sense of your own identity and a vision of where you want to go in your life, you then have the basis for reaching out to the world and going after your dreams for a better life.

People who let events and circumstances dictate their lives are living reactively. That means that they don't act on life, they only react to it.

To know yourself is the first and most important step in pursuing your dreams and goals.

All your life you compare and contrast, explore and search. But knowing yourself well is, well, elusive.

And whenever you encounter a problem, no matter how insurmountable it might seem, there is one simple response that should be ingrained in your behavior: Never give up.

When you set goals, you have to keep them always in mind.

The idea of being able to serve as an example, based upon how to process, how to think, how to realize our own dreams, we can pass that down to our children.

Having a vision for your life allows you to live out of hope, rather than out of your fears.

Of all the ills that our poor ... society is heir to, the focal one, it seems to me, from which so much of our uneasiness and confusion derive, is the absence of standards.

These UFOs are interplanetary devices systematically observing the earth, either manned or under remote control, or both.

I'm me on the mound. I like to show my emotion, be real aggressive and give everything I've got for one half inning. I don't have to act. What you see on the mound is what I am in real life.

What a polite game tennis is. The chief word in it seems to be "sorry" and admiration of each other's play crosses the net as frequently as the ball.

Good birth is a fine thing, but the merit is our ancestors.

Higher has always been the trajectory of intelligent evolution.
