Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.

An unused life is an early death.

I think the Iranians are clearly determined to have a nuclear program. And we have to assume that with a nuclear program they have the capability and the will to create a nuclear weapon.

Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.

Not having hope is not an excuse for not doing something.

There has to be something in every role that interests you.

If a leader doesn’t convey passion and intensity then there will be no passion and intensity within the organization and they’ll start to fall down and get depressed.

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

If I inspire you, pay for it, period.

Do the best you can, and don’t take life too serious.

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.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

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

He too serves a certain purpose who only stands and cheers.

We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

Baseball is like a poker game. Nobody wants to quit when he’s losing; nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead.

It’s really hard to guarantee things in life. I guarantee if you get up in the morning and you work out, and you work hard, you will have a better day – 100% guaranteed.

God wants to use you to make other people happy! And the happier you make others, the happier you will be because you reap what you sow.

If you tell me there’s something I can’t do, I’ll want to do it even more. Especially when it comes to entertaining.

You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.

What? You seek something? You wish to multiply yourself tenfold, a hundredfold? You seek followers? Seek zeros!

What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.

The secret is not to give up hope. It’s very hard not to because if you’re really doing something worthwhile I think you will be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

If you’re in this business and you are scared, then you better do something else.

Writing makes you feel that there is a reason to go on living. If I couldn’t write, I would stop breathing.

All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.

Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.

For me, I don’t want to cheat the game by saying, or kind of doing lip service by saying, I want to be the greatest ever. I want to be able to show it.

The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered is to miss the train before.

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

But ever since I was a kid, I was always the winner.

Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.

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

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.

When I used to play sports, I’d be the one cheering the team on, ‚Come on, we can beat these guys!‘ That’s just in me.

It isn’t sufficient just to want – you’ve got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

No one is ever successful at everything that they do.

The companies that work are the ones that people really care about and have a vision for the world so do something you like.

Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.

I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment – I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I’m on to the next thing. I don’t want to get lost in this big cushion of success.

The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.

What good are fans? You can’t eat applause for breakfast. You can’t sleep with it.

A leader is a dealer in hope.

Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Only he can take great resolves who has indomitable faith in God and has fear of God.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

The man who has no problems is out of the game.

How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.

Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

I won’t accept anything less than the best a player’s capable of doing… and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!

I always try to do as much as I can do. I’m never a person that does not enough, because I’d regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn’t work.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

Never complain. Never explain.
