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.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

Plan your work - work your plan. Lack of system produces that 'I'm swamped' feeling.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.

Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's not.

For every dark night, there's a brighter day

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.

Strength of mind rests in sobriety; for this keeps your reason unclouded by passion.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities -- always see them, for they're always there.

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

The unexamined life is not worth living.

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.

Everything you can imagine is real.

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

For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.
