I’m not the most patient of people.

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.

As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I’ve got left?

You’ll never rise any higher than the way you see yourself.

I’d like to think you don’t stop being creative once you get happy. My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

I just really believe people have to get hungry. I think maybe what we need to do, instead of trying to stuff our beliefs down people’s throats, is just pray for them to really be hungry and to see their neediness.

I think everybody’s trying to get to a place in themselves where they conquer what they was afraid of; they achieve some of their life goals, kept their word about what they were trying to do.

I’ve always been – you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I’m just being who God made me to be.

Your Highest Self only wants you to be at peace. It does not judge, compare, or demand that you defeat anyone or be better than anyone.

When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

Cowardice… is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination.

Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites you.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others.

There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

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.

To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.

What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?

As an athlete, you’d better laugh at yourself when you slip in the mud.

There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man’s self.

I don’t want to be an action star, an action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

The only difference between Benito and Bad Bunny is 16 million followers on Instagram. And the money that Bad Bunny has in the bank. Benito had, like, $7. The numbers are different, but I’m still the same. Even my insecurities remain the same.

Thought can be so seductive and hypnotic that it absorbs your attention totally, so you become your thoughts.

Always first draw fresh breath after outbursts of vanity and complacency.

Is fear preventing you from taking action? Acknowledge the fear, watch it, take your attention into it, be fully present with it. Doing so cuts the link between the fear and your thinking. Don’t let the fear rise up into your mind. Use the power of the Now. Fear cannot prevail against it.

It is necessary for me to establish a winner image. Therefore, I have to beat somebody.

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up.

The truth is that you can only come to know God when you give up the past and the future in your mind and merge totally into the now, because God is always here now.

It isn’t sufficient just to want – you’ve got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.

We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man’s estate, is the gift of education.

Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don’t complain.

I always kind of see how I want things to be better, and I’m generally not happy with how things are or the level of service that we’re providing for people or the quality of the teams that we built. But if you look at this objectively, we’re doing so well on so many of these things. I think it’s important to have gratitude for that.

I know my serve stinks, but I was a pretty good tennis player.

Much of your pain is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

Somehow, we have come to the erroneous belief that we are all but flesh, blood, and bones, and that’s all. So we direct our values to material things.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They’re going outside and trying everything. They don’t realize that it’s right inside themselves.

Practice yourself, for heaven’s sake in little things, and then proceed to greater.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Let him that would move the world first move himself.

Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.

Don’t worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.

I am a sinner. This is the most accurate definition. It is not a figure of speech, a literary genre. I am a sinner.

My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.

I’m sure a lot of people out there make mistakes.

If you start by promising what you don’t even have yet, you’ll lose your desire to work towards getting it.

I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I’m doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.

We are the most amazing creatures that this world has ever produced, but we seem to also have this herd mentality; we seem to be the most stupid, also.

And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.

Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event.

I spent most of the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.

There’s only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.

Whatever talents I possess may suddenly diminish or suddenly increase. I can with ease become an ordinary fool. I may be one now. But it doesn’t do to upset one’s own vanity.

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

On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

I have never regarded myself as a hero, but Tenzing undoubtedly was.

In the child, consciousness rises out of the depths of unconscious psychic life, at first like separate islands, which gradually unite to form a ‚continent,‘ a continuous landmass of consciousness. Progressive mental development means, in effect, extension of consciousness.
