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

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

You shape your own destiny.

Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

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

Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.

Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

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

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.

Why live an ordinary life, when you can live an extraordinary one.

Don?t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

Neither worse then or better is a thing made by being praised.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right.

I'm sorry I wrote you such a long letter; I didn't have time to write a short one.

In life, you need either inspiration or desperation.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
