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

I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.

I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.

He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.

I think I hate cynicism more than anything else. It’s the curse of our age, and I want to avoid it at all costs.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade.

I know how to swim through backlash. I can tread water through backlash… If anything, that’s all giving me power.

My attitude has always been, if you fall flat on your face, at least you’re moving forward. All you have to do is get back up and try again.

It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left?

With self-discipline most anything is possible.

I think it’s OK to be confident in yourself.

God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.

You must reward the kind of behavior that you want.

This is Sunday, and the question arises, what’ll I start tomorrow?

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.

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

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

When all is said and done, more is said than done.

You don’t have to fear defeat if you believe it may reveal powers that you didn’t know you possessed.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

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

I thought I couldn’t make a difference because I was too small.

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

Being self-made means never making an excuse as to why you can’t take steps toward whatever your goal is.

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.

Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to be successful in this world. But the truth is you really don’t.

I’m not intimidated by how people perceive me.

Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.

I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.

Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.

I never got into training to be an All-Ireland boxing champ or to win a belt. At the start, I just got into it to learn how to defend myself when I got into situations.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

I’m inspired by people who keep on rolling, no matter their age.

If I’m going to get you to do stuff, I need to lead you. I can’t just order you to do it.

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.

I think, because I started Virgin when I was a teenager, it has become a part of me, like my family, and I am motivated by ambition for it, almost as if it were a child.

I used to let other people’s struggles affect my happiness. If they weren’t happy, there was no way I was going to be happy. The opposite was also true: If I wasn’t happy, I didn’t want anyone around me to be happy.

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?‘

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’s very inexpensive to give a compliment.

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.

Be a force of love as often as you can and turn away negative thoughts whenever you feel them surface.

Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges.

My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.

If my businesses or my investments are not profitable, then I don’t eat. And I like to eat.

It’s so easy to settle for less than God’s best for us because we don’t always feel like taking responsibility for our behavior or putting forth some effort to do what we need to do so we can accomplish great things for God and help people. But the cost of settling for less is actually harder than being completely obedient to God’s will.

I’m not the sort of person who gives up on things. The first time we crossed the Atlantic in the balloon, it crashed, and we went on and did the Pacific. First time we crossed the Atlantic in a boat, it sank, and we went on and got the record. So, generally speaking, we will pick ourselves up, brush ourselves down, and carry on.

I don’t like to beat people down. They need to be lifted up.

Really, you don’t lose until you stop trying.

Most people who ask for advice from others have already resolved to act as it pleases them.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.

For the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who’s made one negative comment about me, I’ve probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.

The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.
