I believe that every person is born with talent.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

Go on with what your heart tells you, or you will lose all.

I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.

Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me.

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision.

Wealth is not about having a lot of money; it's about having a lot of options.

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it ....

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

You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

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

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.

People should pursue what they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.

Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre.

To see me does not necessarily mean to see my face. To understand my thoughts is to have seen me.

When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.
