“May our adversities make us strong. May our victories make us wise. May our actions make us proud.”

Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something.

I never expect to lose. Even when I’m the underdog, I still prepare a victory speech.

Grind it out. Hanging on just one second longer than your competition makes you the winner.

Become someone’s hero.

Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.

Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

If you’re doing your best, you won’t have any time to worry about failure.

When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails

Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second-hand furniture.

Read carefully anything that requires your signature. Remember the big print giveth and the small print taketh away.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable giving your two best friends a key to your house. If not, look for some new best friends.

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance.

I’ve learned that every great achievement was once considered impossible

Remember that everyone is influenced by kindness.

Good habits can make rational sense, but if they conflict with your identity, you will fail to put them into action.

What goes will come back.

These men are all talk; What is needed is action – action!

If you aren’t where you want to be or you haven’t achieved all you hope to achieve, the reason most likely resides not around you but within you. Take responsibility and then take action.

As long as the government’s actions are secret, it cannot be held accountable. A government for the people and by the people should be transparent to the people.

If we define risk as ‘the likelihood of an irreversible negative outcome,’ inaction is the greatest risk of all.

Win through your actions, never through argument.

To have what few have, do what few do.
