When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

You can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive.

The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself—the invisible battles inside all of us—that’s where it’s at.

It is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.

The greater damage for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it it too low and we reach it.
