If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting.

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

I do not abuse players. I talk to myself; I abuse myself. It’s my way of letting off steam. I do it after every century; I do not do it always. I keep telling myself: ‚Improve, improve from the previous match, the previous shot. You can do it.‘

We clearly see in God’s Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It’s easier to come up with excuses for why we can’t do things that are hard or that we really don’t want to do.

To try to become happy is to try to build a machine with no other specifications than it shall run noiselessly.

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.

There’s definitely going to be things that I’m not very good at, things I can improve.

My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people.

Never mistake motion for action.

I hope my story inspires everyone out there to keep hustling and chasing their dreams.

You get one life. I’m going to embrace mine.

One of the things I definitely think of as a driver of me is fear. And it’s fear of failure, fear of being overtaken.

Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

So much of what we do every single day is the result of habits that we have formed over time.

If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.

I always try to do as much as I can do. I’m never a person that does not enough, because I’d regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn’t work.

It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.

When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.

Little by little, not by making big promises, I need to be calmer, read more, spend more time with my loved ones, and be more mindful about nature and environment.

What really motivates people at Facebook is building stuff that they’re proud of.

And winning is a huge thing for me.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?

It’s not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It’s because we dare not venture that they are difficult.

I am just one human being.

I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.

It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.

The harder I work, the luckier I become.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.

You can’t be afraid to fail. It’s the only way you succeed – you’re not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.

As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.

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

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

A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.

I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.

I didn’t want to play it boring and safe. I also didn’t want to innovate too much. Second albums, man, they’re even scarier than first ones.

I’m chasing perfection.

Losing is tough.

The secret is not to give up hope. It’s very hard not to because if you’re really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.

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

I don’t want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.

What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.

Occasionally, I hanker for the time when I sold more records, but I don’t sit and drool about it. When I do look at early footage of Talking Heads, I realise I was just a wreck.

No one was ever great without some portion of divine inspiration.

The world is before you and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.

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.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.

Example is leadership.

Error is acceptable as long as we are young; but one must not drag it along into old age.

Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.

I don’t want to be too critical of what other people do, but when people go back to do the same thing that they did, I’m completely confused. I’m like, ‚Didn’t you make that movie already?‘ I’ve been very fortunate, and I’m well taken care of, so the least I can do is try to go forward.

It is natural to want to have a future.

Nothing is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man.

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‚Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.‘
