I was always trying – I never wanted to let my fans down; I always wanted them to see me in my art form.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!

Quitting doesn’t enter my mind.

All ballplayers should quit when it starts to feel as if all the baselines run uphill.

I would be married, but I’d have no wife, I would be married to a single life.

We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

I won’t accept anything less than the best a player’s capable of doing… and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!

If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing.

Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

I am a walking piece of art every day, with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

Right discipline consists, not in external compulsion, but in the habits of mind which lead spontaneously to desirable rather than undesirable activities.

Work aside, we come to New York for the possibility of interaction and inspiration.

Marriage is this grand madness, and I think if people knew that, they would perhaps take it more seriously.

If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.

You know, T can stand for anything. T stand for working hard. T stand for loving thy neighbor. T stand for feeding the hungry. T stand for just working, working, working, being happy on the set, you know, lifting everybody’s spirits. T stands for just a nice guy.

I love those who do not know how to live for today.

The bird is powered by its own life and by its motivation.

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.

I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment – I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I’m on to the next thing. I don’t want to get lost in this big cushion of success.

In the world today many people rightfully feel entitled to have success and the good things in life, but they usually understand it will require sacrifice and hard work.

Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.

Better a broken promise than none at all.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Nothing is stopping me from doing what I love to do.

With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.

I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do, even when it’s hard – especially when it’s hard.

Our work is never over.

I train and I go home, and when I’m home, I think about training. That’s my life every day, and that’s it.

As I followed my dream – stayed in-Spirit, that is, inspired – I made more money in the first year after I gave up my employment than I had made in the previous 35 years of my life.

Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.

If a poet is anybody, he is somebody to whom things made matter very little – somebody who is obsessed by Making.

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.

Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

While we may lose heart, we never have to lose hope.

To lead people walk behind them.

We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.

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 can’t ever remember sitting around and saying, ‚gosh let’s hurry up and get these debates going, that’ll win it for me.‘ Nope.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

If you look at anyone who has achieved great success and wealth, people like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, or Lance Armstrong, they have all focused intensely in order to win.

I promise you, I will have something on the Internet that is game-changing. I can’t lose.

Energy begets energy.

People buy into the leader before they buy into the vision.

You can do what you have to do, and sometimes you can do it even better than you think you can.

The best leaders understand the motivations of their team members and know their people – their lives and their families. But a leader must never grow so close to subordinates that one member of the team becomes more important than another, or more important than the mission itself.

Let’s face it. Umpiring is not an easy or happy way to make a living. In the abuse they suffer, and the pay they get for it, you see an imbalance that can only be explained by their need to stay close to a game they can’t resist.

I do my job like I breathe.

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

Well I think a lot of times we’re putting things off and I’m going to do it later. I’m going to break this bad habit or I’m going to pursue this dream or I’m going to treat my spouse better.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

Love can do much, but duty more.

You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.
