“All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.”

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

Pessimism has never done anything but tear down and destroy what optimism has built up.

The quality of your work, in the long run, is the deciding factor on how much your services are valued by the world.

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.

Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat to the weak and vacillating are but stepping stones to victory to the determined soul.

You cannot measure a man by his failures. You must know what use he makes of them. What did they mean to him. What did he get out of them.

Obstacles will look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small.

What keeps so many people back is simply unwillingness to pay the price, to make the exertion, the effort to sacrifice their ease and comfort.

Make it a life-rule to give your best to whatever passes through your hands. Stamp it with your manhood. Let superiority be your trademark.

Conquer yourself and you can conquer everything else.

The best books are those which lift us to a higher plane where we breathe a purer atmosphere.

Wanted, a man who will not lose his individuality in a crowd, a man who has the courage of his convictions, who is not afraid to say “No,” though all the world say “Yes.

It is the youth who sees a great opportunity hidden in just these simple services, who sees a very uncommon situation, a humble position, who gets on in the world.

Put the uncommon effort into the common task… make it large by doing it in a great way.

Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made.

I can’t reveal the mystery to either saint or sinner; I can’t state at length what I’ve said curtly; I achieve an altered state that I can’t explain; I have a secret that I cannot share.

The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus.

It’s not about me, it’s about how I can help my team to achieve more. And I do that through scoring goals.

Everything I have achieved in football is due to playing football in the streets with my friends

There are many things I want, and the only way I will get them is to keep my head down, listen to the right people and work hard.

Our worth isn’t connected to our achievements. It’s connected to the beauty of our soul.

If you are determined and confident, there is nothing in this great existence that can stop you from achieving what you want.

I have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.
