Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

Humans have come into being for the sake of each other, so either teach them, or learn to bear them.

One of the things I learned when I was negotiating was that until I changed myself, I could not change others.

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.

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

Never stand begging for what one has the power to earn.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.

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

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

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and to impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

If you can accept losing, you can't win.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

How long should you try? Until.

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one.

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

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.
