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.

Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it.

It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.

We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us thru that darkness to a safe and sane future.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

I don’t believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

I don’t think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that’s where the problem is.

I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

I always say, decisions I make, I live with them. There’s always ways you can correct them or ways you can do them better. At the end of the day, I live with them.

I don’t need to be vindicated, and I don’t want attention.

Power is like being a lady… if you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.

Idleness is the beginning of all vice, the crown of all virtues.

Character isn’t something you were born with and can’t change, like your fingerprints. It’s something you weren’t born with and must take responsibility for forming.

I enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.

It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.

It feels good being a restaurant owner because it’s part of my dreams of being the biggest mogul.

Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.

I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.

It is not living that matters, but living rightly.

If you don’t like what you’re doing, then don’t do it.

What keeps me motivated is love and passion.

If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it’s moving you away from your goals.

I’m interested in what motivates individuals to participate in atrocious acts to support their ideological identification.

Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.

I always want to listen to people and receive good criticism, but I just don’t have to answer to them; I have to answer to God.

Pretension is a poor joke that you play on yourself. Snap out of it. Recognise your strengths, work on your weaknesses. Real achievement is liking what you see in the mirror every morning.

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

What’s wrong with being a boring kind of guy?

I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I’m the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans, and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible.

However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.

Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.

Some men can live up to their loftiest ideals without ever going higher than a basement.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

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

In ‚Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education‘ and ‚Why A Students Work for C Students,‘ I reveal the secrets of the wealthy and what schools will never teach you about money.

I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with me and aid me, I must fail; but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail – I shall succeed.

I remember they used to tell me, they said, ‚Khaled, you can’t get a Rolls-Royce; you need to get one of them small ones.‘ So I went and bought a Phantom.

The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

In reality, there is, perhaps, no one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride.

Winning takes precedence over all. There’s no gray area. No almosts.

I’m pretty positive, optimistic, so I always expect the best.

Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

I am prepared to resort to anything, to submit to anything, for the sake of the commonwealth.

There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.

To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That’s what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games – nothing like saving the world.

Vulnerability is basically uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.

Never confuse motion with action.

Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.

If you’re in this business and you are scared, then you better do something else.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

I was a little worried that young people would think the only game was being political and manipulative when really the bigger game is being so good at what you do that nobody can argue with your results.

All great achievements require time.

Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It’s the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

I don’t know what drives me to succeed.

We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
