When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.

I always kind of see how I want things to be better, and I’m generally not happy with how things are or the level of service that we’re providing for people or the quality of the teams that we built. But if you look at this objectively, we’re doing so well on so many of these things. I think it’s important to have gratitude for that.

Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me.

Don’t be a writer; it’s a terrible way to live your life. There’s nothing to be gained from it but poverty and obscurity and solitude. So if you have a taste for all those things, which means that you really are burning to do it, then go ahead and do it. But don’t expect anything from anybody.

I get really motivated when I put on the India jersey. It is a responsibility, so I want to perform in the best way I can.

The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.

People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes.

So many people are looking at what’s wrong, and I try to encourage them to look at what’s right in their life. A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.

I think the great part about what I do is that there’s a scoreboard. At the end of every week, you know how you did. You know how well you prepared. You know whether you executed your game plan. There’s a tangible score.

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.

In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. The young they keep out of mischief; to the old they are a comfort and aid in their weakness, and those in the prime of life they incite to noble deeds.

In the dim background of mind we know what we ought to be doing but somehow we cannot start.

I’d be so bored if I wasn’t going out there, knowing that I could still do it. So, I’m going to work hard to be ready to go, and I still plan on playing for a long time.

I never – you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

The time is always right to do what is right.

Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.

The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

What I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all – the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.

We only need so much to survive, but this world we live in tells us we need more stuff to be happy. We’re inundated with our televisions, the Internet and advertising that says in order to be happy you have to have these things. When you say, ‚Gimme, gimme, gimme,‘ you will always be in short supply.

When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.

If I waited for perfection… I would never write a word.

If you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together. You can speak about spirit, or you can live it.

Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.

Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be a genius. You don’t have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.

I’m so happy because today I found my friends – they’re in my head.

The greatest story of all is Colonel Sanders. He didn’t start until he was sixty-six on a freeway bypass for his chicken shop. Anything is possible!

You may make some mistakes – but that doesn’t make you a sinner. You’ve got the very nature of God on the inside of you.

I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true – hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it.

Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.

These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that.

We are in a wrong state of mind if we are not in a thankful state of mind.

What keeps me going is goals.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

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.

The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.

Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday.

Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

My mother told me, ‚Son, nobody else but God knows.‘ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That’s what I do.

To add value to others, one must first value others.

With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed.

If you are a small company taking on a big company, you need to have a sense of humor.

It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.

Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.

We hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves.
