Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.

Before you can inspire with emotion, you must be swamped with it yourself. Before you can move their tears, your own must flow. To convince them, you must yourself believe.

Leave a little for the next guy.

Just because something doesn't do what you expected it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.

If I hadn't started painting, I would have raised chickens.
