I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.

Take a canvas. Put a mark on it. Put another mark on it.

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

Find the thing you do well and do it again and again for the rest of your life.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

The first time you do something only happens once.

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it.

The transformation of the heart is a wondrous thing, no matter how you land there.

Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
