Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.

When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.

I just want to be able to play and make people feel good with what I do. When you're thinking that way, anything can happen. And, usually, what happens is good.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.

Identify your problems but give your power and energy to solutions

Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.

We all have possibilities we don't know about. We can do things we don't even dream we can do.

I don't know who my grandfather was; I'm much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you are willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

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.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

I love those who can smile in trouble...

I work hard, and I do good, and I'm going to enjoy myself. I'm not going to let you restrict me.
