I am convinced that floods of personal disaster can never drown a determined revolutionary nor can the cumulus of misery that accompanies tragedy suffocate him.

A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.

There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal triumph if you have the iron will and the necessary skill.

We have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.

Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle for where we're going. There's something ahead worth fighting for.

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.
