The next breakthrough won't come from doing things better, but from doing better things.

Life is a balance between holding on and letting go.

The essence of power is not in its strength, but in its ability to influence.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

I find I'm so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border.I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope.
