I read the paper every day and the Bible every day; that way I know what both sides are up to.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.

We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better.

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities – always see them, for they are always there.

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

There is no need to be afraid of having faults, because knowing we have them can help us to improve.

How you see the future is much more important than what happened in your past.

And now go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.

Never blame anyone in your life. Good people give you happiness. Bad people give you experience. Worst people give you a lesson. And the best people give you memories.

Love gets unappreciated a lot of times, but you still gotta keep giving it

I’m competitive, and I love to create challenges for myself. Maybe that’s not always a good thing. It can make life complicated.

If you’re going to have to swallow a frog, you don’t want to have to look at that sucker too long!

To be successful you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, and then resolve to pay the price to get it.

When people are in a focused state, the words I can’t,I’ll try,I’ll do it tomorrow,and maybeget forced out of their vocabularies.

Focus is essential to success, and successful people are people who can focus.
