When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadow.

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

If you put off everything till you're sure of it, you'll never get anything done.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.

Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.

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

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.

In a conflict between the heart and the brain, follow your heart.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even if we are not wise enough to see it.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.

First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.
