Every intention is a trigger for transformation.

Everything you can imagine is real.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

I believe that every person is born with talent.

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

One man with courage is a majority.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.

Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is.

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.

You shape your own destiny.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.

To go too far is as bad as to fall short.

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

A long apprenticeship is the most logical way to success. The only alternative is overnight stardom, but I can't give you a formula for that.

You have to work hard to get to the top of your game. I think every writer has doubts! I still do all the time.

I am the captain of my soul.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?
