People only see what they are prepared to see.

I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

Those see nothing but faults that seek for nothing else.

What a man thinks of himself, that is what determines, or rather indicates, his fate.

If you would be loved, love and be lovable.

Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

The most positive men are the most credulous.

This I know. This I believe with all my heart. If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being- we can do it!

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall at last unveil.
