“If you fail the first time then you’ll just have to try harder the second time.”

Don’t be concerned about whether people are watching you or criticizing you.

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.

As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Don’t call a woman a bitch. Call her an ass-hole. It still gets your point across and it’s not sexist.

We are the sum total of all the choices we have made.

Courage is exhilarating.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.

Nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says, It can’t be done.

Understanding is a two-way street.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure.

Be confident, not certain

A great deal of fear is a result of just not knowing.

We do not have to become heroes overnight.

Do the things that interest you and do them with all your heart.

Don’t be so bitter about a bad experience from your past that you miss the opportunities in front of you.

Unsuccessful people get up whenever they feel like it and the first thing they do is watch television, read the paper, or check email. The rest of the day is pretty much 50% below maximum performance.

It’s okay to fail; it’s not okay to quit.

I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools.

We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

The gap between enthusiasm and indifference is filled with failures. The great man is he that does not lose his child’s heart.

My failures have made me look at myself in a way I’ve never wanted to before.

Failure is not fatal. Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. It should challenge us to new heights of accomplishments, not pull us to new depths of despair. From honest failure can come valuable experience.
