The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book.

To See a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right.

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.

I am the lizard king. I can do anything.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

You have to make the rules, not follow them.

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.

With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

You're never as good as everyone tells you when you win, and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

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

Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.
