Whatever role I play is a positive role; it’s a strong role. Never negative.

Watch out for the joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining, faultfinding, and a negative, judgmental attitude.

Fun is one of the most important – and underrated – ingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.

Any of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it’s the real test of your character and of your faith to say, ‚Things are not going our way, but I’m still being good to people; I’m still attending church; I still have a good attitude.‘

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.

I definitely don’t plead guilty to being a heartthrob.

I didn’t like the way I looked in pictures – when I saw myself on a digital camera, I was like, ‚Eesh.‘

The question is not, ‚Do you have a problem?‘ The question is, ‚Does the problem have you?‘

I know love is the answer.

People tend to play in their comfort zone, so the best things are achieved in a state of surprise, actually.

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.

The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.

Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, ‚This is a misfortune‘ but ‚To bear this worthily is good fortune.‘

Every day is a gift from God. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

Well, I don’t think there’s any need for people to focus on my career.

I try to look on all the great things God’s done, and not focus on the negative. It’s a perspective.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

I like to make people feel happy and superior in their reaction towards my appearance.

Off with you! You’re a happy fellow, for you’ll give happiness and joy to many other people. There is nothing better or greater than that!

The future will be better tomorrow.

Sometimes in the past when I played something might make me lose focus, or I would go home after a game where I thought I could have played better and I would let it hang over my head for a long time when it shouldn’t.

I prefer to praise people and the world rather than criticize them and it.

Life’s too short to hang out with people who aren’t resourceful.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

I think whether you’re having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.

Encouragement to all women is – let us try to offer help before we have to offer therapy. That is to say, let’s see if we can’t prevent being ill by trying to offer a love of prevention before illness.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

The basis of optimism is sheer terror.

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

The good part about youngsters is that they are so fearless. You want to be like them.

The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.

No matter what, people grow. If you chose not to grow, you’re staying in a small box with a small mindset. People who win go outside of that box. It’s very simple when you look at it.

When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that’s my religion.

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.

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.

I think the tiniest little thing can change the course of your day, which can change the course of your year, which can change who you are.

We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we’re able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.

Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

I think that success is having fun.

Emotion creates reality, reality demands action.

My father was a negative person. He actually taught me to be negative, if that makes any sense. I remember him saying: ‚You know there’s no point in expecting anything good to happen because it won’t.‘ I grew up in such a negative atmosphere.

There are more pleasant things to do than beat up people.

If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.

I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.

There’s hope for everyone. That’s what makes the world go round.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

Give yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you. This five-minute-a-day regimen of appreciation and gratitude will help you to focus your life in awe.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‚Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.‘

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

To a profound pessimist about life, being in danger is not depressing.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.

Things do not change; we change.

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.

To make headway, improve your head.

Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.

I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.

Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.
