You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot in front of the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way.

I’m open and ready to go to the next place, the next level, the next height.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

You’ve got to say, “I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough, I can have it.” It’s called perseverance.

It’s always good to be underestimated.

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

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.

The mind that opens to a new idea never comes back to its original size.

All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind.

You are essentially who you create yourself to be and all that occurs in your life is the result of your own making.

Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for.

The problem is not getting rid of fear, but using it properly.

I’ve never been terribly interested in why people give, because their motivation is rarely what it seems to be, and it’s almost never true altruism.

Outstanding people have one thing in common: An absolute sense of mission.
