It’s a piece of cake until you get to the top. You find you can’t stop playing the game the way you’ve always played it.

Bob DylanCharacter, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI don’t expect to live forever, but I do intend to hang on as long as possible.
Isaac AsimovMan is not made for defeat.
Ernest HemingwayThe hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Charlie ChaplinI love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‚Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
Leonardo da VinciIn two decades I’ve lost a total of 789 pounds. I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.
Erma BombeckSailed this day nineteen leagues, and determined to count less than the true number, that the crew might not be dismayed if the voyage should prove long.
Christopher ColumbusI have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.
Tennessee WilliamsI knew from the age of 16 that I wanted to be a writer because I just didn’t think I could do anything else. So I read and read and wrote short stories and dreamed of escape.
Paul AusterJesus never said a word about homosexuality. In all of his teachings about multiple things – he never said that gay people should be condemned. I personally think it is very fine for gay people to be married in civil ceremonies.
Jimmy CarterI’m not a complete psychopath. Am I partially? Sure. I’ll accept that. But I’m not a complete psychopath.

Kendrick LamarI never expect to lose. Even when I’m the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.You can’t stop everything from happening. But we’ve gotten to a point where we’re certainly trying. If a car doesn’t have four hundred air bags in it, then it’s no good.
Clint EastwoodI feel real good because it’s about representing the young world and how to uplift each other and how to push us to be greater and make sure we don’t fall or get trapped or get in trouble, you know what I mean. Stay focused, you know what I mean.

Margaret AtwoodYou’ll never find a better sparring partner than adversity.
Golda MeirA well adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous.
Alexander HamiltonA hustler has to deal with danger and risk. It’s part of the game. You cannot control it all, nor would you want to. Chaos, unknown factors are not something to be anxious about.
Robert GreeneEverybody’s journey is individual. If you fall in love with a boy, you fall in love with a boy. The fact that many Americans consider it a disease says more about them than it does about homosexuality.
James BaldwinI 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.

Benjamin FranklinI have never been bewildered for long in any fight with our enemies – I was Armed with Insight.
Jim MattisYour life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.
Wayne DyerWhat we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn’t think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerBeauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI don’t know what drives me to succeed.
Adam SandlerI’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.
Dolly Parton‚Suffering should not make us bitter people,‘ my mother once said, ‚it should make us better comforters.‘ Young people need to hear this from those who have walked before them, because someday they’ll be walking those same steps, but there may not be anyone following behind.
Billy GrahamI have to write 100 songs before you write the first good one.
Taylor SwiftFill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.

Stephen KingThe only way round is through.
Robert FrostI focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.
Kobe BryantWhat is normal? Normal was yesterday. If you lose a leg, one day you’re hopping around on one leg, so you know the difference.
Terry PratchettOne mustn’t close one’s eyes to difficulty and to shortcomings; the more one recognizes them, the less they upset one.

DJ KhaledYou can’t try to do things; you simply must do them.

Golda MeirI think everyone should be with who they love.
Dolly PartonI believe in the battle-whether it’s the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.
Richard M. NixonThe roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
AristotleI’m not the kind of cat that’s going to cut off an ear if I can’t do something.
Bob DylanYour decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.
Brian TracyWhen his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‚Why god? Why me?‘ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‚There’s just something about you that pisses me off.‘
Stephen King
