I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.
The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

Find out who you are. And do it on purpose.
Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'.
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
It's always too early to quit.
