You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire.

I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.

It's all in the mind.

You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.

Success is not about seeking constant external comparison; it's about embracing your own journey and being content with your progress, no matter how small.
