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

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

For every dark night, there's a brighter day

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

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

There is always room at the top.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

If we want a free and peaceful world, if we want to make the deserts bloom and man grow to greater dignity as a human being-we can do it.

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

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.

A man should look for what is, and not what he thinks should be.

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

A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.

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

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

Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.
