I didn’t work hard to sit down and not work.

The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.

Everybody could be an entrepreneur, but very few will become very rich entrepreneurs.

Every sentence spoken by Napoleon, and every line of his writing, deserves reading, as it is the sense of France.

And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we’re all sweating it – when we’re worried that the bill won’t pass, and it seems like all is lost – Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward… with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.

No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.

I think, team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.

I had a rough childhood coming up, and I just took all that negative energy and made it very positive for myself to drive me. I’m a very driven person. I have passion that almost scares people, just to be successful and make it no matter what.

We don’t want to wait on someone to hire us and give us a check. We want to create our own opportunities.

We have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself.

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

There are a lot of inaccuracies out there when it comes to the SEAL training process. You will see guys carrying logs around on television. They think that the hardest part about being on a SEAL team is getting through that training. The fact of the matter is, if you have a good attitude, that training is fun. I had a blast.

Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it.

My authoritarian and quick manner of making decisions led me to have serious problems and to be accused of being ultraconservative. I have never been a right-winger. It was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems.

I just enjoy it, I am living a life that I never even dreamt of.

Winning – that’s the most important to me. It’s as simple as that.

I struggled with being a broke college graduate, and while all my friends were getting career jobs, I was working horrible part-time jobs. That’s why now, even when I get tired, I think, ‚This is what I asked for.‘

If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.

You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.

On this team, we’re all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

I made the track ‚Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola‘ before I met Balvin.

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.

I’m just a kid that defied the odds. I’m just a kid that ignored the doubt. I’m just a kid from a little place in Dublin, Ireland, that went all the way, and I’m going to continue to go all the way.

At seventy-seven it is time to be in earnest.

The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.

A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

Obviously this song is an achievement for me in my career, but what makes me really feel good is to make Latinos feel proud. To provoke that pride that a pop figure and someone so big in music globally like Drake would sing with me completely in Spanish and create this hit ‚MIA.‘ That’s the best part of it.

Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place.

The harder I work, the luckier I become.

Instead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you’re not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!

I’m chasing perfection.

Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort.

A president either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt that I could let up for a moment.

It is natural to want to have a future.

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.

One likes people much better when they’re battered down by a prodigious siege of misfortune than when they triumph.

You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

Rule number one is: Beat your team-mate.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

I think there are a number of things that you can do to encourage your kids‘ dreams, but I do believe in speaking by experience of having a lot of help along the way, stumbling in the past. We’ve all stumbled, and we certainly all deserve to get up and walk again.

If you want to achieve something, you build the basis for it.
