It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember – the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you.

The best way out is always through.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.
