“Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart; do not let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart; do not let success go to your head and failure to your heart.”

The strongest people find the courage and caring to help others, even if they are going through their own storm.

Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.

Life becomes easier and more beautiful when we can see the good in other people.

To shine your brightest light is to be who you truly are.

Nothing can disturb your peace of mind unless you allow it to.

Count your blessings, not your problems. Count your own blessings, not someone else’s. Remember that jealousy is when you count someone else’s blessings instead of your own.

Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.

A smile puts you on the right track. A smile makes the world a beautiful place. When you lose your smile, you lose your way in the chaos of life.

Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes.

Happiness depends on your mindset and attitude.

Respect other people’s feelings. It might mean nothing to you, but it could mean everything to them.

The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Other people’s perception of you is a reflection of them; your response to them is an awareness of you.

If you have a strong purpose in life, you don’t have to be pushed. Your passion will drive you there.

Life is about accepting the challenges along the way, choosing to keep moving forward, and savoring the journey.

We have to be honest about what we want and take risks rather than lie to ourselves and make excuses to stay in our comfort zone.

You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.

Being brave means that knowing when you fail, you won’t fail forever.

Great success always comes at the risk of enormous failure.

Failure is a part of creating a great life. Stand up to it and handle it with grace. Because, you can.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

We will return to the pitch, and give it everything.

Show me someone without an ego, and I’ll show you a loser.

I started SpaceX with the expectation of failure.

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.
