“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

Your struggles are opportunities for growth and resilience. Embrace them as stepping stones to your success.

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

Success is not about seeking constant external comparison; it's about embracing competition as a means of personal growth and continuous improvement.

Preparation, I have often said, is rightly two-thirds of any venture.

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
