If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.

Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.

If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.

When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

Do the best you can, and don’t take life too serious.

Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon. We don’t realize how close we are to victory.

No pressure, no diamonds.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

I know I want to always do the best I can.

With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to god, and keep your face to the raising sun.

Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?

If I didn’t have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.

Even though you are on the right track – you will get run over if you just sit there.

Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.

Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one’s aim.

As a kid, I used to see how Sachin Tendulkar used to win matches under pressure for India in Sharjah or other places. So I was always keen to repeat the same in similar situations. I don’t take pressure on myself when I am in the middle. I love pressure, and I always believe that pressure makes you more focused.

I’m sure like everyone else I’m not always the happiest if I don’t do a good job in quali or the race or whatever, so I think beating myself up sometimes makes me work harder.

Without football, my life is worth nothing.

The joy and love that I get from playing football are unbelievable. It is such a feeling that I want to give everything that I have got. I just enjoy it, I am living a life that I never even dreamt of.

What good are fans? You can’t eat applause for breakfast. You can’t sleep with it.

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there’s only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

Someone said to me, ‚If fifty percent of the experts in Hollywood said you had no talent and should give up, what would you do?‘ My answer was then and still is, ‚If a hundred percent told me that, all one hundred percent would be wrong.‘

Nearly all the things I do that are of any merit at all start off just being good fun, and I think I’m sort of building up to doing something else quite soon.

I love being in a courtroom.

Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.

In difficult times, we’re not supposed to quit believing; we’re not supposed to quit growing.

There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.

In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.

No sanction can stand against ignited minds.

A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing.

He who angers you conquers you.

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‚What are you doing for others?‘

If you’ve got a plan, it’s not just like a pipe dream. You have a step-by-step list of things to do to get to your goal.

Off with you! You’re a happy fellow, for you’ll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!

I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.

Music helps me tell my story. That’s where I can really be heard. But there’s so much focus on the things that aren’t music.

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.

All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.

If you’ve got a talent, protect it.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.

Bring them on.

If you can’t beat them, arrange to have them beaten.

I never thought of losing, but now that it‘ s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That’s my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.

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.

If you ask people what they’ve always wanted to do, most people haven’t done it. That breaks my heart.

Things don’t have to change the world to be important.

I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.

The highest reward for a person’s toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it.

I’m always asked, ‚What’s the secret to success?‘ But there are no secrets. Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest worker in the room.

Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don’t.

Winning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.

Before all else, be armed.

Just try new things. Don’t be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar, all right?
