I never blame failure – there are too many complicated situations in life – but I am absolutely merciless toward lack of effort.

Her philosophy is carpe diem for herself and laissez faire for others.

It is not merely enough to have the ability to be persistant, you must also have the ability to start over.

Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.

I don’t want just words. If that’s all you have for me, you’d better go.
