It’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

Bring them on.

The only advantage of not being too good a housekeeper is that your guests are so pleased to feel how very much better they are.

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

Oh, give us the man who sings at his work.

I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.

If you’re going through hell, keep going.

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

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

To win is always good for the feeling of the whole team.

I don’t like looking back. I’m always constantly looking forward. I’m not the one to sort of sit and cry over spilt milk. I’m too busy looking for the next cow.

My son complains about headaches. I tell him all the time, when you get out of bed, it’s feet first!

I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.

Mental toughness is a lifestyle. It’s something that you live every single day of your life. When I was growing up, I was a lazy kid. I was a lazy kid, and everybody goes, ‚How did you get to where you’re at today? How did you get to where you’re running 200 miles at one time in 39 hours? Being so disciplined?‘

The important thing is to be in love with something.

Back in the day, what motivated me was overcoming myself. Now I believe in being a leader. I’ve done it all – I’m good. Now, it’s about setting an example for others to follow. I can’t just talk it – I have to live it.

All my life affection has been showered upon me, and every forward step I have made has been taken in spite of it.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

I want to appeal to everyone. Because I’m not saying I’m the best, but we the best.

If there was nothing wrong in the world there wouldn’t be anything for us to do.

The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.

God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires.

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.

Live the life you’ve dreamed.

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.

The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents.

In my house I’m the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.

I won’t do something unless I can get at least two or three good laughs out of it. If I can’t, it’s not gonna make the team.

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn’t want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.

Whoever named it necking was a poor judge of anatomy.

You’ve got to go out on a limb sometimes because that’s where the fruit is.

Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second-hand furniture.

For me, money is not my definition of success. Inspiring people is a definition of success.

In the world today many people rightfully feel entitled to have success and the good things in life, but they usually understand it will require sacrifice and hard work.

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

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.

Be a player; don’t play yourself. And don’t play basketball. That’s not your sport, Jeb Bush.

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

I think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down – we’re not going to be the number one group in the world forever – so you have to have something else to fall back on.

If my edge is dull, my sword is dull, and I don’t want to fight another guy whose sword is dull. If you’ve got two steel swords going back and forth hitting each other, what’s gonna happen? Both of them are going to get sharper. Everybody that’s in the industry has lost their edge.

The man who has no problems is out of the game.

He that struggles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.

If you try and work out at 4:30 in the afternoon, how many people are going to chip away at that time? Your boss, your job, your work, your family, your other obligations that you might have. At 4:30 in the morning, all those people are asleep, so you can do whatever you want.

I don’t think it’s possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor.

Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.

I don’t tell people, ‚You’re okay the way that you are.‘ That’s not the right story. The right story is, ‚You’re way less than you could be.‘

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.

How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

The real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

I don’t like magic – but I have been known to make guys disappear.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

‚Educational‘ refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.

It was clear to me that if I could get through Princeton at the top of my class, I could do anything in the world.

The only shame is to have none.

Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him.

I think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.
