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

You lose nothing when fighting for a cause ... In my mind the losers are those who don't have a cause they care about.

Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.

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

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

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

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

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn't correct. We all start with all there is, it's how we use it that makes things possible.

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

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.

If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

Status quo, you know, is Latin for 'the mess we're in'.

Gratitude is an illness suffered by dogs.
