Short

Hold fast to your dreams, for when dreams die, life is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

It is not a disgrace to not reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim, is sin.

There are absolutely no acceptable shortcuts to success in life. Cheating, for whatever reason and in any field, is wrong and is at best a temporary solution to a greater problem.

If everyone is special, then no one is. If everyone gets a trophy, trophies become meaningless.

Whatever it is you try, make sure it's what you really want to do, because the only person who knows what that is, is you.

You can never be truly free if you do not join efforts to free someone else. The function of freedom is always to free someone else.

The true test of a human being's character is how he treats people in his life that he cannot use.

You are now fully prepared to begin living out your hopes and aspirations. And with all the immense challenges we face, the necessity for you to do so right away is more important than ever.

Don't just think about what already exists. Think about what doesn't exist and do that.

Make failure your friend, but not a habit. First of all, I'm not sure survival is such a bad plan.

Sometimes your highest pay isn't money. Wisdom is another name for humility.

Develop your own compass, and trust it. Take risks. Dare to fail. Remember, the first person through the wall always gets bloody.
