“The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands.”

The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.

Don't wait. The time will never be just right.

Raise your selfhood so high that before every decree of destiny, God Himself asks His servant: 'Tell me, what is your will?'

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.

For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.
