He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes.

Better to fight for something than live for nothing.

I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.

I am certainly not one of those who need to be prodded. In fact, if anything, I am the prod.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.

Whenever you do something, people try to re-do it and do a better version, especially if they’re in another country.

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.

In war, you win or lose, live or die – and the difference is just an eyelash.

Genius is patience.

Imagine your family finally making it from nothing to something, and finally getting things going, and finally buying a beautiful house and taking care of your children – and the next day, it’s completely all gone. Zero. Boom. Flat broke. So that’s when I had to man up.

Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

Often people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.

Look at the world. There is no pure competitor to the United States of America.

Domination and monopoly is the name of the game in the web marketplace.

That’s when you know you’re the greatest: when you’re the greatest, and people still put odds against you.

I don’t know what drives me to succeed.

There is no substitute for victory.

It’s not ‚can‘; it’s ‚will.‘ You have to will things into fruition.

Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.

Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.

The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.

I don’t think about the end game. I’ve got lots to occupy my mind. It’s the rage that keeps me going.

Sure it’s a big job; but I don’t know anyone who can do it better than I can.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

A hundred struggle and drown in the breakers. One discovers the new world. But rather, ten times rather, die in the surf, heralding the way to that new world, than stand idly on the shore.

Better to have beasts that let themselves be killed than men who run away.

I believe that I’m one of the best in the world at what I do, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be.

I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, ‚There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.‘ But I’m not going to worry about them. I’m dreaming the hardest.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.

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.

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

We will move forward, we will move upward, and yes, we will move onward.
