Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

My life is full of mistakes. They’re like pebbles that make a good road.

Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.
