I think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don't know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do.

Either you vegetate and look out a window, or activate and try to effect change.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible

Nothing of any consequence happens unless people get behind an idea. It begins with an individual and they share the idea with more individuals-and eventually it becomes a movement.

Success is not about money and power. Real success is about relationships. There's no point in making $50 million a year if your teenager thinks you're a jerk and you spend no time with your wife.

We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community's vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.

The key to success is letting the relationships in your life grow to the highest levels they possibly can . . . not putting yourself first in life and remembering that the more you give away, the more you have.

To be able to feel the lightest touch really is a gift.

I've still never had a dream that I'm disabled. Never.

In the face of adversity, hope often comes in the form of a friend who reaches out to us.

Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.

Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.

All the scientists who are working on solving the problem of curing paralysis say that it won't do you any good if you don't keep your body in shape.

Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.

You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.

At first, dreams seem impossible, then improbable, and eventually inevitable.

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.

Success is finding satisfaction in giving a little more than you take.

Never accept ultimatums, conventional wisdom, or absolutes.

Even though I don't personally believe in the Lord, I try to behave as though He was watching.
