To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

A strong man doesn’t have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn’t match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world.

Never marry someone in hope that they’ll change later.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.

What’s really hard is that you could care a lot for someone and not want to live with him anymore.

It’s really hard to guarantee things in life. I guarantee if you get up in the morning and you work out, and you work hard, you will have a better day – 100% guaranteed.

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

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

If you are surrounded by your competition and you are outworking these people, outmaneuvering these people, it’s hard not to let your confidence take over. It just builds and builds and builds.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

We have the tendency to run away from suffering and to look for happiness. But, in fact, if you have not suffered, you have no chance to experience real happiness.

Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.

My measure of success is whether I’m fulfilling my mission.

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up – they have no holidays.

The thing we fear we bring to pass.

Every one of my regrets has produced a song I’m proud of.

Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make the dream come true.

A great mind becomes a great fortune.

I can’t keep somebody from being a star, and I can’t make somebody a star, and nobody can.

Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor, creativity follows. With luck, success comes, too.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

A man’s as miserable as he thinks he is.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

If two smart, intelligent, clever guys sit together on a table, and you both want the same, where can be the problem? We all want to be successful.

With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.
