I’m sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you’re afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation.

The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.

Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

I believe you never get tired by doing work. You get tired when you don’t work. When you clean your house, you don’t get tired; it gives you satisfaction.

The only shame is to have none.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
