I Shall Return!

You don’t win wars by dying for your country you win wars by making the other son of a b*tch die for his.

Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.

Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers and I will conquer the world.

The enemy is in front of us, the enemy is behind us, the enemy is to the right and to the left of us. They can’t get away this time!

On the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other days, on other fields will bear the fruits of victory.

The young athlete who aspires to greatness, generally speaking, learns a number of things from several different coaches. The first one taught him the fundamentals; the second one instilled discipline in him and taught him more of the techniques that must be mastered to excel.

Concentrated thoughts produce desired results.

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

A plan is always successful if the plan is good.

Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority.

How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?

Be yourself. No one else can be you.

Don’t start the day until you have it finished. Don’t start the week until you have it finished. Don’t start the month until you have it finished. Plan your day.

Time can be an ally or an enemy. What it becomes depends entirely upon you, your goals, and your determination to use every available minute.

Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight.

Profitability comes from loyalty, productivity, and having a character base from which to work.

A person with a clear purpose will make progress on even the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress even on the smoothest road.
