Coaching your wife is like trying to baptize a cat.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

I lie and tell you I had a dream about you last night, so it makes it more socially acceptable to reach out to someone I haven’t spoken to in years.

You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

When you doubt the brilliance of your shine, I will take you through my darkness. I will show you where you shine the brightest.

Sometimes you have to make the right decision, and sometimes you have to make the decision right.

Somebody once said we never know what is enough until we know what’s more than enough.

Champions get what they want because they know what they want. They have a vision that keeps them motivated and efficiently on track. They see it, feel it, and experience it in their minds and hearts. What is success for you? You won’t get there without knowing what it feels and looks like.

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.

Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.

The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.

Don’t ever confuse the two, your life and your work. The second is only part of the first.

The sense of injustice, more than the unjust condition itself, is what wears on men’s minds.

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.
