I don't know who my grandfather was; I'm much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit.

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.

If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under.

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

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak

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.

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Isn't it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!
