Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Passion is momentary love is enduring.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.
