“Anything you can do, or dream you do, begin it: boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”

“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.”

“Lose the day loitering, 'twill be the same storyTo-morrow, and the next more dilatory,For indecision brings its own delays,And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute!What you can do, or think you can, begin it!Only engage, and then the mind grows heated;Begin it, and the work will be completed.”

“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”

“How often do I lull my seething blood to rest, for you have never seen anything so unsteady, so uncertain, as this heart.”

“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.”

“The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief.”
