Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?

Nobody can hurt me without my permission.

I not only use all the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.

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

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

I do not care so much what I am to others as I care what I am to myself.

It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.

When I give, I give myself.

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision.

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

I just want to be able to play and make people feel good with what I do. When you're thinking that way, anything can happen. And, usually, what happens is good.

I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

You'll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

Every intention is a trigger for transformation.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit as well as physically.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.
