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

It's not whether you got knocked down; it's whether you get back up.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

I love those who can smile in trouble...

Life is 10 percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.

They alone live, who live for others.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

In winter, I plot and plan. In spring, I move.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
