To do your best is no longer good enough. We now have to do the seemingly impossible.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world.

Before we acquire great power we must acquire wisdom to use it well.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.

If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.

Whether you want to go into music, whether you want to be a lawyer, whether you want to be President of the United States, the bottom line for all of you is that you have got to get your education.

You may be always victorious if you will never enter into any contest where the issue does not wholly depend upon yourself.

You cannot see the changes that you’re dreaming about, because they’re internal.

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Self-centered leaders manipulate when they move people for personal benefit. Mature leaders motivate by moving people for mutual benefit.

We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.

By perseverance the snail reached the ark.

I worked out early on to give up things I couldn’t do well at all.

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

Many a man’s strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.

I’m a big believer in doing things that make you uncomfortable. So, we live in a world where we want to be as comfortable as we can. And we wonder why we have no growth. We wonder why – when the smallest thing in our life gets difficult – we wonder why we cower and we run away.

I could give a flying flip about doing promo because, no disrespect, nobody put me in the position that I’m in.

I want to solidify as an artist and show that as I grow as a person and make mistakes and learn from them, I’m going to grow artistically.

A man only learns in two ways, one by reading, and the other by association with smarter people.

While you’re saving your face, you’re losing your ass.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.

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.

I always try to be smart. I try to treat all the money I’m making like it’s the last time I’m going to make it.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

I don’t want to make money; I want to make a difference.

A great man is always willing to be little.

For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.

Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.

I worked my face off.

All my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it.

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don’t speak well of yourself.

Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What’s a sundial in the shade?

Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

We must be our own before we can be another’s.
