Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great,some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them

Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late some day.

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

Do not wait for anybody or anything. Do whatever you can. Build your hope on none.

To be a good loser is to learn how to win.

Let your joy be in your journey - not in some distant goal.

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals that is, goals that do not inspire them
