The life of a man is three-score years and ten: a little more, a little less. The life of a nation is the fullness of the measure of its will to live.

I have never accepted what many people have kindly said - namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

The challenge of life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it's a story about who you want to be.

You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.
