Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing.

Mastery is not perfection, it is journey, and the true master must be willing to try and fail and try again.

Give light and people will find the way.

Be either rich or an enemy of the rich. I understand both, but never be envious of the rich and try to please them at the same time.

Who among us is not at a loss for words? Tears pour out. Tears of joy. Tears of relief. A stunning, whopping landslide of hope in a time of deep despair. In a nation that was founded on genocide and then built on the backs of slaves, it was an unexpected moment, shocking in its simplicity: Barack Obama, a good man, a black man, said he would bring change to Washington, and the majority of the country liked that idea.

Carrying yesterday's problems with you today is like trying to fly while carrying a sack of rocks.

No one is going to come to your house and make your dreams come true.

To progress is always to begin again.
