Gratitude is an illness suffered by dogs.

It's not whether you got knocked down; it's whether you get back up.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.

When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

It's always too early to quit.

If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If youre not, pretend you are.

When I give, I give myself.

Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune. And idleness, its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
