"The part of your dream that most sincerely expresses who you are is the part that cannot help but come true. Choose to follow your very own dreams. They're yours for a reason. You are the person most capable of achieving them and you are the person who will be the most fulfilled by them. Forget about living the dreams of others. When your goal is to be just like someone else, your efforts to reach it will bring frustration and disillusionment. The greatest gift you have to give is yourself is your own true self. The dreams, the goals, the purposes and passions you hold dear are powerful and undeniable expressions of the person you are. Find and nurture them, and they will energize your efforts. Be the most effective person you can be by truly being yourself."
"Dare to look foolish. The real fools are those who never attempt anything. Dare to make mistakes. They are the best teachers you will ever know. Dare to take action. There's a risk you may fail. Yet if you take no action failure is a certainty. Dare to be fully alive. Dare to speak your mind. Dare to enjoy the beauty of the world. Dare to make a difference. Dare to love. Dare to be the person you know you can be. Dare to expect the best, with your words and actions. You'll usually get it. Dare to do what is right rather than what is convenient or expedient. It will truly make a difference in the way you see yourself, and the way others see you. You're here, with this magnificent day available to you. Dare to make it the best you can."
"i don't know if i continue, even today, always liking myself, but what i learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself; it is very important for every human being able to forgive himself or herself, because if you live, you will make mistakes. it is inevitable. but once you do, and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well if i'd known better i'd have done better,' that's all, so you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' if we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror. we can't see what were capable of being. you can ask forgiveness of others but in the end the real forgiveness is in ones own self. i think that young men and woman are so caught by the way they see themselves, now mind you, when a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white, or too poor or too fat or too thin, or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough, but you can overcome that, the real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself, if we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we could never teach."

"Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, determination, discipline. The road ahead is long, and difficult, and filled with opportunity at every turn. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Get on with the work. Right now you're at the beginning of the journey. What a great place to be! Just imagine all the things you'll learn, all the people you'll meet, all the experiences you'll have. Be thankful that the road is long and challenging, because that is where you'll find the best that life has to offer."
