I don’t want to hear the word ‚can’t.‘

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.

If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you’re a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind.

No sooner said than done – so acts your man of worth.

Growth is the great separator between those who succeed and those who do not. When I see a person beginning to separate themselves from the pack, it’s almost always due to personal growth.

Modern travelling is not travelling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.

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

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

Racing, competing, it’s in my blood. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

If you ask people what they’ve always wanted to do, most people haven’t done it. That breaks my heart.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
