Thomas Shadwell

Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.

That if you try once, you should try again. Keep that focus exactly where it should be-on winning.

You’re a fighter. Look at everything you’ve overcome. Don’t give up now.

I don’t deserve this award, but I have arthritis and I don’t deserve that either.

As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

If you don’t get out there and try to solve your own problems, it’s never going to change.

The more people tell you it’s not possible, that it can’t be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong. Treat the word ‘impossible’ as nothing more than motivation.

If you are going to dream, dream big.

Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.

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.

Never put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after tomorrow.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small amount of Are makes a small amount of heat.
