I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.

The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Give yourself something to work toward - constantly.

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

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

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution. If you don't have any problems, you don't get any seeds.

I believe that every person is born with talent.

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

You see things; you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?

Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.

The time is always right to do the right thing

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

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

We are all motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is, the more he is inspired by glory.

When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.
