Catherine the Great

Don’t worry about things you cannot alter.

Men make love more intensely at 20, but make love better, however, at 30.

All this is only for the mice and myself to admire!

I beg you take courage; the brave soul can mend even disaster.

It is better to inspire a reform than to enforce it.

Experience shows that the frequent use of severe punishment has never rendered a people better. The death of a criminal is a less effective means of restraining crimes than the permanent example of a man deprived of his liberty during the whole of his life to make amends for the injury he has done to the public.

A new day is here. Yesterday is a memory. Tomorrow is unknown. Now is the knowing.

You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.

If you really believe it – go for it.

We will either find a way or make one.

My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.

There is little you can learn from doing nothing.

Every day is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be.

Dream big and kick ass.

Dream big and dare to fail.

Sometimes Tina Fey is like a very talented bungee-jumping expert. All it takes Tina to softly say, ‘We can do this, right?’ and I suddenly feel like I can jump off a bridge.

Dream won’t work unless you do.

Remember this: Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right.

The great majority of people are wandering generalities rather than meaningful specifics. The fact is that you can’t hit a target that you can’t see. If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else. You have to have goals.

When I thought I couldn’t go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck.
