We may appear to be mean, but we’re really only frightened.

A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.

Yesterday’s just a memory, tomorrow is never what it’s supposed to be.

Keep on going and the chances are you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.

You have got to decide, look, this is who I am; this is my best way to present myself, and I’m going to ride that horse to the finish line. Not everybody will like it, but that’s OK.

Whenever you get the idea that you are ‘fixed’ or that anything is ‘fixed’ for life, you’d better get ready for a sudden change.
