Let everything you do be done as if it makes a difference.

If your treat an individual… as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.

Once you begin to fall off the track and believe you breathe different air to everyone else, you’re doomed; you’re finished.

If I’d had some set idea of a finish line, don’t you think I would have crossed it years ago?

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.

To be great is to be misunderstood.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

I just figured out that if I gave my all into this game – if I put everything into the fight business – then I would eventually run the fight business.

You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors… What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you’d come to closed door number eight and you’d think, ‚Great, I got another one out of the way’… Keep moving forward.

Bring them on.

Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.

Never be ashamed! There’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they’re not worth bothering with.

He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.

I’ve been blessed to be somebody that’s been climbing that success mountain top for years of hard work, you know, but now it’s all connecting. And now, the whole world is watching, you know what I’m saying, and it feels good ‚cause it’s good energy. This is all positive vibes, and good vibes and good energy, so it feels incredible.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

My rule is to break one sweat a day.

What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.

Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.

Never complain. Never explain.

Players now have a groin injury for months and months, and I often think they don’t really give a toss whether they’re playing or not because they’re getting paid anyway.

The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.

I want people to draw strength from me.

Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream of things that never were, and say why not.

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.

Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.

Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.

If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go.

Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed – there’s so little competition.

People who pity themselves think, ‚Why would I try to do anything? I’ll just fail.‘

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.

Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it.

You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.

Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you’re exactly the same.

I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I’m the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans, and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible.

What keeps me going is goals.

Don’t be a spectator, don’t let life pass you by.

When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.

Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

God wants to use you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you will be because you reap what you sow.

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.

The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.

The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it’s so easy to be motivated.

He too serves a certain purpose who only stands and cheers.

Never lose a holy curiosity.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

If you continue to keep low performers on your team, that are actually dragging the team down; you’re failing the whole team, and eventually, the whole team is going to fail.

While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.

Music is really driving my whole life.

You have to be smart. The easy days are over.

I attribute my success to this – I never gave or took any excuse.

‚Your Erroneous Zones’ was the book that went over the top simply because I believed in it so much.

Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.
