Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

The world never puts a price on you higher than the one you put on yourself.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Our dependency makes slaves out of us, especially if this dependency is a dependency of our self-esteem. If you need encouragement, praise, pats on the back from everybody, then you make everybody your judge.
