“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.”

The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire. The fault lies in us, in our want of control.

Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.

Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when we face challenges.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
