When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Only the mediocre are always at their best.
Never retract, never explain, never apologize; get things done and let them howl.
What you think you become.
Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.
The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
Ya know it's funny, what's happening to us. Our lives have become digital. Our friends, now virtual. And, anything you could ever wanna know is just a click away. Experiencing the world through second hand information isn't enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it. We will never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it. It's this self-discovery that inevitably takes us to the wildest places on earth.
I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.
All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

I didn't want to teach my kid how to read, so I used to read to him at night and close the book at the most interesting part. He said, “What happened then, daddy?” I said, “If you learn to read, you can find out. I'm too tired to read. I'll read to you tomorrow.” So, he had a need to want to learn how to read. Don't teach children how to read. Don't teach them mathematics. Give them a reason to want it. In school, they're working ass-backwards.
When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.
The only thing you deserve is what you earn
Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
You must always strive to be the best, but you must never believe that you are.
Marathoning is a metaphor for life, so there are a lot of parallels you can draw. I tell people to follow your dream, follow your heart, follow your passion, run your own race and believe in yourself. I think anybody who wants to succeed has to have passion.

Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
