All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood.

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.

If we are to be happy, we must first react against our tendency to follow the line of least resistance, a tendency that causes us either to remain as we are, or to look primarily to activities external to ourselves for what will provide new impetus to our lives.

I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date.

Children make your life important.

This desk of mine is one at which a man may die, but from which he cannot resign.

I’m 31 now. I think I’m beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means.

Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.

One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.

Must is a hard nut to crack, but it has a sweet kernel.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.

Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.

You accept that this civilisation could be abolished and life will begin later on after a few thousand years because that is something that has happened in the history of this planet. When you have peace in yourself and accept, then you are calm enough to do something, but if you are carried by despair there is no hope.

My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.

It generally happens that assurance keeps an even pace with ability.

I always was that person who was hard on myself and challenged myself no matter what I was doing, whether it was passing third grade or playing basketball.

That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.

We’re just enthusiastic about what we do.

The internal machinery of life, the chemistry of the parts, is something beautiful. And it turns out that all life is interconnected with all other life.

When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.

By the time you’ve reached your sixties, you do know that one day you will die, and knowing that is at least the beginning of wisdom.

Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to preserve it. Has it ever been said that a man who throws himself out the window to escape from a fire is guilty of suicide?

Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.

Someone told me something that stuck with me: ‚You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.‘ I’ve been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I’m just backtracking and trying to get back up there.

The doer alone learneth.

What the devil is the point of surviving, going on living, when it’s a drag? But you see, that’s what people do.

I don’t know anything that builds the will to win better than competitive sports.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

There is no doubt that life is given us, not to be enjoyed, but to be overcome; to be got over.

I’ve been studying the Bible for a long time. I remember that after the first five years or so of diligently studying the Word, I didn’t feel like I had made any progress. There were a lot of things in my life that were out of order, and I didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere.

Better to fight for something than live for nothing.

My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.

I went through a lot of battles in high school.

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 harder I work, the luckier I become.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success.

My life is mine to remember.

The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test.

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

The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.

There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.

Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.

The left paw has done me well over the years. I’m not a scientist, I’m a martial artist.

Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.

The natural term of the affection of the human animal for its offspring is six years.

I lived a sloppy life. So I took very small increments in my life. I started making my bed. I started cleaning my room. There were dishes in the sink. It started off with doing small house chores. I saw that the yard needed to be mowed. So instead of being told it needed to be mowed, I would mow it.

I am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
