“You have two choices: You can make a living, or you can design a life.”

Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.

Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.

You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

The more you care, the stronger you can be.

Discipline has within it the potential for creating future miracles.

Never wish life were easier, wish that you were better.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

Either you run the day, or the day runs you.

If you will be faithful to a few things, you will someday become the ruler over many things.

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.

The smallest of disciplines, practiced every day, start an incredible process that can change our lives forever.

The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become.

The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

The twin killers of success are impatience and greed.

The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.

I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position.

People behave according to their personality, perspective and mood. It’s their choice.

I want to tell you that if the Great Spirit had chosen anyone to be the chief of this country, it is myself.

Nobody but a beggar chooses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens.

I must choose between despair and Energy – I choose the latter.

There’s power in choosing to be loved.

It’s the failure of my debut film which made me an actor, which made me want to succeed in the industry. But that doesn’t mean I regret whatever choices I’ve made over the years. No, not even ‘Kaiyethum Doorathu!’

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.
