Trust your gut. Forgive yourself. Be grateful.

Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

The only thing people regret is that they didn’t live boldly enough, that they didn’t invest enough heart, didn’t love enough.

Exuberance is beauty.

The greatest reward of righteousness is peace of mind.

The winds and waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

I learned that you have to push away the demand of people's expectations by believing in your instincts.

I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
