Ray Bradbury Quotes

No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.

You are the center of your universe, and you can make anything happen.

I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.

We simply need to believe in the power that's within us, and use it.

'No one can make you successful; the will to success comes from within.' I've made this my motto. I've internalized it to the point of understanding that the success of my actions and/or endeavors doesn't depend on anyone else, and that includes a possible failure.

I really believe that we have the power to manifest our own fates.

I am my own cheerleader. I am the one who puts my goals, who pushes myself to get to the next goal. I don't have someone next to me saying, 'Here you go, now do this, it's your next step, go for it.'

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.

I know that no one can really stop me but myself and that really no one can help me but myself.

I really do see that anywhere I am, whether it's doing interviews a hundred in a row, that every situation I'm in, I'm at choice in the matter.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.

Know your power.

You are the only one who can create an incredible world around you, or destroy yourself.

Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.

I have the greatest life in the world because I created it.

My parents gave me stability and a belief in myself and in all the possibilities life has to offer. I was told the only limitations I would ever face were those I placed upon myself.

I always say that what's between you and your success is yourself.

I willed myself into being.

Everybody has will - you just have to gather it. And I guess you choose where your inspiration comes from and give yourself that permission.

A lot of people didn't think I would be here. But I put myself in great positions and I always had the mentality that what is meant for me is meant for me. The only person that can stop you is yourself.

I really believe in myself. That's why I keep challenging myself.

You are the only thing holding you back from happiness. You have the ability to change your life radically for better or worse.

I will always back myself to achieve what I can achieve. It is all down to me.
