Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.

Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.

I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it’s not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that’s not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There’s a lot of things that come with fame – it’s what people in the limelight have to do.

One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven’t and don’t.

The man who has the will to undergo all labor may win to any good.

Remembering what you’ve been through and how that has strengthened your mindset can lift you out of a negative brain loop and help you bypass those weak, one-second impulses to give in. Even if you’re feeling low and beat down by life right now, I guarantee you can think of a time or two when you overcame odds and tasted success.

This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.

I wouldn’t ever say if you’re having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life’s a fight. It’s a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.

Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.

The ancestor of every action is a thought.

I think my vice would be outdoing myself.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

I firmly believe that unless one has tasted the bitter pill of failure, one cannot aspire enough for success.

Perseverance is also key to success in any endeavor, but without perseverance in combat, there can be no victory.

Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.

Any man who has had the job I’ve had and didn’t have a sense of humor wouldn’t still be here.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

Infinite striving to be the best is man’s duty; it is its own reward. Everything else is in God’s hands.

Control your own destiny! Control your own destiny!

We may stumble and fall but shall rise again; it should be enough if we did not run away from the battle.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.

A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.

The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.

God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

I dropped out of NYU, moved out of my parent’s house, got my own place, and survived on my own. I made music and worked my way from the bottom up.

You are never too young to learn, never too old to change.

I definitely wasn’t anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.

The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.

You have to stay faithful to what you’re working on.

I couldn’t ever go back home without being something. I probably would never have gone back home. That was definitely a big motivation. To get back home, and not empty-handed.

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

Anything I do, I want to do it well.

If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.

I believe you never get tired by doing work. You get tired when you don’t work. When you clean your house, you don’t get tired; it gives you satisfaction.

The temptation to take the easy road is always there. It is as easy as staying in bed in the morning and sleeping in. But discipline is paramount to ultimate success and victory for any leader and any team.

I’m never gonna step away from stand-up. I can’t. That’s what got me where I am, and that’s also my muse. That’s how I stay level-headed. That’s what keeps me going.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

There is nothing impossible to him who will try.

If you’re in this business and you are scared, then you better do something else.

We were the first generation to have to deal with the modern stardom of football. Some handled it better than others.

Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.

For a long time, I had the idea that I would do a certain amount of work the best I could, and then I would reach a comfort zone, and I wouldn’t be pushed to write more. I would become a different person. It’s a surprise to me that this hasn’t happened. Your body ages, but your mind is the same.

Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.

How you played in yesterday’s game is all that counts.

I’m not going to get somewhere and say, ‚OK, I’m done.‘ Success is never final; I’ll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I’m going to the stars and then past them.

If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.

You must take action now that will move you towards your goals. Develop a sense of urgency in your life.

There is a tendency for things to right themselves.

Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

I didn’t have nothin‘ going for me… school, home… until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

Well I think any author or musician is anxious to have legitimate sales of their products, partly so they’re rewarded for their success, partly so they can go on and do new things.

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
