“You defeat defeatism with confidence.”

The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it.

If you really want something , you can have it if you’re willing to pay the price. And the price means you have to work better and harder than the next guy.

If you can’t get emotional about what you believe in your heart, you’re in the wrong business.

Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.

Those who have invested the most are the last to surrender.

One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be the dominating thought in one’s mind.

Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence.

It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever – the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you’re willing to pay the price.

Most important of all, to be successful in life demands that a man make a personal commitment to excellence and to victory, even though the ultimate victory can never be completely won.

If you get into the endzone, act as if you’ve been there before.

We don’t pray to win. We pray to play the best we can, and to keep us free from injury. And the prayer we say after the game is one of thanksgiving.

Success demands singleness of purpose.

Live as if you were living already for the second time.

The darkest moments of our lives are not to be buried and forgotten, rather they are a memory to be called upon for inspiration to remind us of the unrelenting human spirit and our capacity to overcome the intolerable.

If you can accept losing, you can’t win.

Preparedness is the ultimate confidence builder.

A lot of people judged me. I like the way it looks, so you have to be confident.

If I can see it and believe it, then I can achieve it.

Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you.

Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity.

Congratulations! Today is your day!

Sensual pleasure passes and vanishes, but the friendship between us, the mutual confidence, the delight of the heart, the enchantment of the soul, these things do not perish and can never be destroyed.

Suppose you are wrong? How would you know? How would you test for that possibility?
