The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

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

Just as food eaten without appetite is a tedious nourishment, so does study without zeal damage the memory by not assimilating what it absorbs.

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

The more centuries that I am able to score, the happier I will be.
