Our life is what our thoughts make it.

May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.

One of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won’t have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.

Sometimes there are no good guys. There are no bad guys. It seems like everybody is in the middle.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.

There are definitely elements of experience and stuff that someone who’s my age wouldn’t have. But there are also things that I can do that other people wouldn’t necessarily be able to.

People who pity themselves think, ‚Why would I try to do anything? I’ll just fail.‘

There can be no better grounding for a lifetime as an author than to see humanity in all its various guises through the lens of the reporter for the town.

Many people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be.

No matter what, people grow. If you chose not to grow, you’re staying in a small box with a small mindset. People who win go outside of that box. It’s very simple when you look at it.

It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably.

Experience has shown, and a true philosophy will always show, that a vast, perhaps the larger portion of the truth arises from the seemingly irrelevant.

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

I don’t worry about stress. I create it.

Choosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.

The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.

Probably because I’m from a middle class family, I have that nature in me that I don’t get too excited with big things.

I’ve been blessed to be somebody that’s been climbing that success mountain top for years of hard work, you know, but now it’s all connecting. And now, the whole world is watching, you know what I’m saying, and it feels good ‚cause it’s good energy. This is all positive vibes, and good vibes and good energy, so it feels incredible.

Life’s like a play: it’s not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.

What I love best in life is new starts.

It’s life isn’t it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points.

We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.

The last act is bloody, however pleasant all the rest of the play is: a little earth is thrown at last upon our head, and that is the end forever.

I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I’m cool with the praise. I’m good.

Few people have the imagination for reality.

I’ll die a crazy old man!

Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.

I always have an optimistic view, no matter what it is.

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

My age is very insignificant to me. I don’t think about it, but the world does. The world likes young people in general.

There’s a reason that I have confidence out there, and it’s about how I prepare for games and for series and seasons and whatnot, so we’ve got to stick with that kind of thought process.

Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.

Isn’t it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.

Most of our lives aren’t that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.

Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

True virtue is life under the direction of reason.

Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does.

I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.

It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.

My life is a struggle.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.

He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.

The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.

Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.

He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.
