Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race.

Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

I’ve learned over the years that when I go to that place of passion within me, there’s no force in the universe that can interfere with my completing a project.

If a man does his best, what else is there?

Boot camp sucks – SEAL training sucks – but you know what? That’s what makes you good.

My life has been long, and believing that life loves the liver of it, I have dared to try many things, sometimes trembling, but daring still.

I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.

I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

The real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

If the grace of God miraculously operates, it probably operates through the subliminal door.

There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.

Imperfection clings to a person, and if they wait till they are brushed off entirely, they would spin for ever on their axis, advancing nowhere.

I remember talking with Arcade Fire after their first record, when they were getting all kinds of offers from major labels, and I don’t think I gave them any advice. They survived that whole onslaught pretty well anyway without me.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

I always put myself out there. I’m not afraid to commit to something.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

When I started my last business, I didn’t receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can’t handle that pressure.

Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God.

Why is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days?

You can live within the institutions and work hard to change them.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.

While some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections. We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.

Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail.

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.

Faith never makes a confession.

The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.

The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.

What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man.

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God’s word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.

At first, I was called a quack, a charlatan, and worse, year after year, in Australia, England and the United States, by men who simply refused to believe that a nurse from ‚the bush‘ could devise a treatment which succeeded where they had failed.

I think Hillary Clinton could do whatever she puts her mind to. I really do. She’s incredibly dedicated to public service, she is smart as a whip, and she’s effective.

I left school to concentrate on racing. It was a family decision between my mum, dad and myself.

I am not going to Heaven because I have preached to great crowds or read the Bible many times. I’m going to Heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment: ‚Lord, remember me.‘

Like so many American families, our families weren’t asking for much. They didn’t begrudge anyone else’s success or care that others had much more than they did… in fact, they admired it.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.

It was a personal decision for me to stand and say that cricket is all I have in life, there’s nothing I need to do other than cricket. If I want to achieve whatever I thought as a kid, I need to work hard and not let it go to waste.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

People’s blessings give you the power to work tirelessly. The only thing required is commitment.

But God can only smile because only God can know what is coming next.

Until you have cultivated the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you do not admire, you will be neither successful nor happy.

Mind your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes.

The problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it’s a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.

To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it’s digging deep, it’s doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

We should no longer measure our wealth and success in the graph that shows economic growth, but in the curve that shows the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Never was anything great achieved without danger.

No one should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Saviour, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.
