Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

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

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

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

I don’t think we are going to become extinct. We are very clever and very resourceful.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.

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

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
