I’m doing it because I choose it. And if it’s not working, I can make a change.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

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.

Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, young and old shared just a little of what he is good at doing.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.

Willpower is a myth. The problem with trying to use willpower to achieve and sustain a behavioral change is that it is fueled by emotion. And as we all know, our emotions are, at best, fickle. They come and go. When your emotions start running down — and they will — even your best-laid plans will fall flat.

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.

We Americans… bear the ark of liberties of the world.

A goal is a dream with a finish line.

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so.
