Henry David Thoreau Quotes

The power of "can't": The word "can't" makes strong people weak, blinds people who can see, saddens happy people, turns brave people into cowards, robs a genius of their brilliance, causes rich people to think poorly, and limits the achievements of that great person living inside us all.

And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.

I was always a winner, but just didn't know it.
